Sweet Little Dress

Pink Picket Fence gave me a great idea what to do with my knits that I bought at Hobby Lobby this spring, so I decided to give this pattern a try. I have had it in my stash since last November.

I love it. Although I found the directions to be very skimpy, the pattern goes together easily. It probably took under an hour to finish this dress. I wanted it to be a top, so I shortened the pattern alot. I wish there had been measurements for the elastic, but the pattern leaves everything completely up to you. It is not easy to dress your toddler everytime you want to check out how the garment fits. All in all, I truly liked this shirt. I even got to see Olivia try it on for a few minutes. Don't ask. I promise to show pictures tomorrow. Right now, I am in the middle of making my son a t-shirt for tomorrow's Disney On Ice. I promise I will play catch up this weekend.

What can one do when there is no time to sew?

Buy more fabric of course!  I decided after my hubby upset me a bit last night, that I was going to go shopping this morning.  I really wanted to run into Hobby Lobby and buy some of that nice seersucker to make an Ottobre Woman's pattern.  I cannot wait to start on that one.  Anyways, while I was there I found some cute nice girly knits.  I was not expecting to find much, since most of the stores seem to be cutting back on fabric lately, but I just could not resist.  I know I won't get any sewing done for a few days because I have to work on my taxes, so what is a poor woman like me to do but look at fabrics and maybe buy some more.   Right????

Our quilting shop, which has an enormous amount of fabrics, carries everything you can possibly imagine.  I really like alot of the bolder new prints, but.......I don't always necessary like them on the little ones.  I prefer the fabrics that are a bit more conservative.    Not to mention the fact, that they just don't sell in my shop.  I found this lovely print, and am looking forward to making a few things with it.  It also comes in blue, yellow and orange.
