A Summer weight blanket for Bailey




Bailey needed a new light weight blanket for the warm weather. She's one of those kids who wants to be covered so in order for her not to sweat to death while she's sleeping I made her a nice cool blanket. It's light weight corduroy on one side and cotton on the other. So far she loves it!

Pleated Round Collar Dress for Bailey



I purchased this pattern off of Etsy. Overall it was an easy sew, but I did have to make a few changes. I didn't have enough fabric to have pleats in both the front in back so I took the pleat out of the back. I also ended up sewing the pleat down because it wouldn't hang straight over Bailey's tummy. I'm starting to feel fairly comfortable with button holes. The main fabric of the dress some something super cheapo from the fabric market here. It did not sew well. When I tried to wipe off the tailor's chalk marks the blue color of the fabric started coming out instead of the tailor's chalk!!! Over all I love the look of the dress. It's modern and sweet. I will be making this pattern again.
