Christmas Dresses

I did it! 

      I made my sisters and myself Christmas dresses and I finished them before the day!

Dimples and Green Twirly Dress

Well, well, well. 

Things have been quiet about this old blog of mine. I have been rather busy during the past month or so since I last posted. I decided that I was going to make the majority of my Christmas gifts this year. A brilliant idea I know, except for the fact that I did not start making anything until about mid November. Now a normal person would think that that would be plenty of time to complete a few different projects. As we all know, I am not a normal person. I decided to begin knitting two unnamed objects which were both rather large undertakings. 

Add to that the fact that I decided to make Photographer Sister and myself some semi-matching Christmas dresses. We did not decide upon the pattern until about a week ago. Then I had to sew up some test versions and we both had to wear them to see how we liked the fit. Plus I am sewing a bag for each of my little brothers (there are four) and finishing up Dolly's Christmas dress. To sum it up, I have been rather preoccupied. Thankfully I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I have finished everything except for the aforementioned Christmas dresses, (which I will be working on today) one other project, and adding the finishing touches (buttons, blocking and weaving in ends) to the knitting projects. 

I am planning a Christmas dresses post, Christmas presents (my gifts to others) post, and possibly a Black Friday/Birthday/Christmas presents (to me) "haul" post or vlog. 

Cherries and Fall Leaves

Hello,

      Cherries + Leaves + Jumper + Dolly = Cute! Here is another outfit I made for Dolly. Actually, this cherry jumper was the first top that I made. It was just a trial run to make sure that it would be satisfactory for my mum. Needless to say, she considered it acceptable.

Falling Leaves Jumper

Hello All,

     Today I have something a little different to show you. With the progression of my sewing skills, I find myself called upon to use them for the benefit of my family. I do random repairs and make requested garment when needed. This season, my amateur expertise has been required to craft my littlest sister's fall wardrobe (excluding t-shirts and undergarments).
     Therefore, I have decided to do a blog series called Little Dreamer's Wardrobe. If you do not care to peruse the posts devoted to toddler clothes, have no fear, this is not going to cause a cessation of regular sewing posts. I actually have a couple more blog posts in the works. For now, I introduce you to the Falling Leaves Jumper and my little sister who; hereafter, shall be referred to as: Dolly.
