(I'm going to give all of you creative Dear Readers some more time to come up with captions for my last post. I know you're all working on it. Meanwhile...)
Twenty-two years ago I was making many little sundresses from this pattern...
...for my own baby girl.
Tuesday, during the very long, tense tornado watch, I got out this pattern and made a little sundress for another Baby Girl.
This fabric, which I purchased to add a spot of color to the bridal shower food table,...
...was bought with this companion fabric so I could use it for Baby Girl's sundress.
It's a lot wilder, and in a different color scheme, than I'd normally choose, but Miss Helping Hands reassures me that "it's summery and it's really cute".
I do so love this pattern.
I love the pocket details.
And I love the back; especially when it's lined with a contrasting fabric.
Baby Girl generally wears a headband with a ribbon or some other fanciness on it, so I used some of the leftover fabric to make a matching flower.
I'm going to sew a clip to the back of it so it can be attached to a headband.
Although the dress is a size 1/2, it still looks big in comparison to Baby Girl.
I'm anxious to see how it fits.
And if it does fit...
...look out.
I'll be putting the pedal to the metal on that Bernina.
