A-Line Dress also makes a great top

Here is my latest creation for Caroline. I liked the A-line jumper so much that I made a shorter version as a top and I made some shorts with a pattern from a previous two-piece outfit. I am very pleased with how this one turned out. I can't wait for her to wear it!

New Fabrics

Here are the latest fabrics added to my collection this week. I made some shorts yesterday to go with the pink paisley pillowcase dress/top from a previous post. I'm thinking Caroline might wear that tomorrow when we have some out of town family visiting. She'll be super cute! Stay tuned to see what happens next.

A-Line Jumper

I took a break from pillowcase dresses and decided to make an A-line jumper. I started it yesterday afternoon and finished it off today with the buttons and buttonholes. It was really easy and didn't take long at all. As before with the two-piece outfit, when I was done sewing, I didn't have any buttons on hand to go with the dress. I haven't built up my button supply yet and I don't always know what I am going to make with the fabric when I buy it; I usually just know that I like it and want to make something with it (I guess as I buy more button packs, I will gradually build my collection and will have buttons on hand when I need them). Caroline has a birthday party to go to on Saturday. Maybe she will wear it then. I think it will be so cute on her!
