Newborn Dress

Although not pictured exactly as I would like it, 

this little dress I made for a new granddaughter!

I cut a size XS from the Simplicity pattern #1447 and top stitched the pleats instead of sewing seams.

 I also added a lavender straight stitch and a hand-sewn star on the collar.

The white edge is added extra, too.

The bloomers were super easy; I haven't sewn bloomers for many years and I like how fast they went together.

I can't wait to see our newborn in this new dress!

(as always, there are a few things I think I could have sewn differently, but I like the end product quite well)

 

Yarn Galore!

I pulled out my few bags of my favorite Red Heart yarn to see what colors I had. (and this is only a few skeins) There were brights, pastels, white, and variegated shades of green, blue, brown, etc. So many choices! So many colors!

What to do.....

Looking for something to make with these. I'm sure there's a project that's resting in the back of my mind, I just have to pull up the list!
