First, the pants. Now, dresses!!!

I am clearly on some kind of sewing and crafty roll, as I've made two whole dresses!!

The lovely neek came over to give me a hand with Snail and learn me up on how to sew stuff some more - lol. M and Riley were also here to lend moral support. :D I made these!!

A peasant dress:


A pillowcase dress! I need a thicker ribbon for the neck, and to tack it in so the gathering is regular.


Both only just fit round the chubster's tummy, though - I'll go up a size in future. Though I'm hoping once the tummy chubb thins out, they'll be perfect for a while longer....

I made pants!!

A friend of mine is an amazing sewer, check out her beautiful things here. She came round to help me learn to sew :D I made a pair of pants for Lolly that are super cute!


But...I made another pair today (unsupervised - lol) and they are about half an inch too small!!!! I am so bummed. But they are cute, and I'm keeping em in case Lolly ever slims down. :)

ETA - here is my third pair - they fit pretty well! It's a thicker material, I think that gave me some trouble - lol.
