A Dress For The Girl


Not long after finding out that she was having a girl, Jess found this fabric.  It's one of the Lisette fabrics sold at Joann's. It's a sweet pink (slightly salmon) lawn, that's very easy to sew. She let me choose Simplicity 4243 for the pattern. 
It's a very simple pattern. Hopefully easy for a wee one to wear. I did change the back closure to three buttons instead of a zipper.
The sizing was kind  of aggravating. It's one of those xxs, xs, s, m, l deals, I'd rather they use pounds or months or something like that.
The front has small pleats that give it just enough fullness without being fussy. 
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against fussy. I'm sure I'll indulge in fussy later.

Home Ownership is Fun!

Especially when you let the lawn get overgrown. Thank goodness for self propelled mowers. I still nearly died.

Thank you Jess for bringing me water every ten minutes.
