Week 3 turned our to be a very busy and exhausting week. With the elections going on me being out of town for work . . . .not a big accomplishment week. But the good news is . . .its a three day weekend so I can make up a little time. The above dress is the "Pink Dress" which I blogged about here http://brooketroutcreations.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html. Very simple dress sewing wise but is extremely eye appealing otherwise. I highly recommend it. Pattern sizes range from 1 year to size 8 so I will be able to use this pattern many times over the next few years.
This dress is a Christmas present for my niece Emma. She will be a year old in may and its her first Christmas. I made the dress a size two so she will have plenty of room to grow. Fabric was great buy at Joann's on clearance along with the trim fabric. With a coupon . . .this might have cost me $5 to make and I have some leftover fabric to play around with for bags.
And I have pulled out the knitting needles again for some needed projects. This cowl I made back in April of 2012 and blogged about here http://brooketroutcreations.blogspot.com/2012/04/its-over.html. Simple one skein that looks quite elegant when complete. I also have a white owl sweater in the plans this week and red mittens for the Christmas card photo shoot coming up for this years cards. No out of town plans this week so I will be forging ahead with my Christmas present plans. Can't wait for next weekend. . .my hubby is giving me a sewing day in the middle of deer season!
