The weather has been just beautiful! Summer is here and early for New Hampshire, but I'm not complaining. And what is summer without a new sundress? So finding inspiration here and here, this simple sundress for Bekah was born. I had never sewn with elastic thread, and the first attempt was pretty much a failure. But I was determined to get this little dress made. After a little playing around and winding the bobbin tighter I got the look I was going for.
Bekah didn't want to pose for the camera, but I think these shots are cute. She loves to twirl in her new dress. I have plans to make a couple more for her and Sarah wants on too.
The dress is beautiful as well as your daughter! What a talent!! I'm hoping to try my hand at sewing this year for the first time. I have 3 daughters as well and I really want them to learn this skill. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sun dress, I really need to jump in and sew something:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress! I'm gathering courage to try smocking. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteBekah looks so pretty in her new dress. Great dress. I've not sewn with elastic. It sounds fiddely. I have done some smocking, but before I had my girls. I must look out a pattern.
