Couture?

 I've been working on a couple of little outfits for our wee grandie and this is the first one...



Dress pattern is THIS one and the diaper cover is from HERE.  I added the lace and the little flower just because I could!


- THIS is an easy way to create a hanging kitchen towel (and would make great gifts too!)

- There's a ton of fun free embroidery patterns to be found HERE.

- They also have some printable adult coloring pages that might be fun to tackle.  Go HERE.  

- Have a peek through the amazing creations found HERE.

Today I have this for your quote...

  1. That's a lovely outfit. You're really enjoying dressing that little girl!
    The hanging towels are good - I've been given a couple which I wore to shreds, very useful.

    1. There hasn't been a little girl in our family (extended or otherwise) for probably nearly 45 years. I have some serious catching up to do!!
      We use hanging towels all the time otherwise they end up on the floor.

  2. What a lovely outfit for your girl to sport!! Hanging towels are a family fave here; That "Wading Woman" Embroidery is so spectacular...almost like needlepoint in appearance...thanks for your links and i hope you have a great weekend... hugs, Julierose

    Sherry of createology: I love this adorable dress and diaper cover. The fabric and ribbon and lace is perfect. Your Little Grand will be quite the fashionista! Thank you for all the links that get my head to spinning with inspiration. Yes this quote hits home…STUFF. I know I have a lot of it for my only daughter to deal with. If I go first hubby will merely hire the largest dumpster and throw it all in. :o(

    1. I'm happy with the little dress and just have my fingers crossed that it will fit her now.
      As for stuff- I know my kids will just hire a dumpster too so I have to use things up!

    1. Don't be too quick to say my sewing skills are decent - this is just a little dress but when it comes to adult-sized clothing I'm a complete basket case. And yes I've tried telling myself that it's the same thing, only bigger, but it doesn't work.

    I really like the saying as it is so very true.

    1. Thank you - hope it fits her! I'm out of touch with proper sizing for babies so it's 50/50.

    1. I fell in like with that fabric and had to make a dress with it. I think it might prove to be quite wrinkly though so will have to wait and see.
