thread basting

This is only a practice dress, not the real thing.





I've cut the bodice pieces out of lace and silk organza, thread traced the darts, and basted the layers together. Next up, assembly.


The munchkins wore their easter outfits today, although they were so wiggly I didn't get great shots of the dresses. Here's my sister with her family:




Kate's dress is from Sewn with Love book and Ana's dress is the Oliver + S playdate dress. Both are made with Lisette for Joann fabric.



And here is Tommy in his cute little overalls. These are the Oliver + S tea party overalls.


and the girls in their dresses:


Happy easter everyone!

The panel apron

A quick picture of my sister cooking Easter brunch in her apron from the Leanika fabric panel. I swapped the pocket that was on the panel with one cut from a scrap of the Lovebirds fabric.
