Baby Party Dress #2

Here are the pics of Kate modeling the baby party dress that I promised.

Rosalind Reversible Cape

I made the Rosalind Reversible Cape yesterday. I am so excited about this. Just like the dress, there was alot of ripping out seams and resewing things. But it turned out great. It fits Kate really well too. :)

Baby Party Dress

Yesterday my goal was to make a dress for Kate. I didn't use a pattern for the dress and it still turned out really well! :) Looking at all of the clothes on Grosgrain inspired me to make something cute for my girly too. Here are some pics of the dress when I finished it last night. When I have some pictures of Kate wearing it I will post them on here. I made the dress out of a navy blue material with white polka dots.



*skirt detail*
I put a bunch of gathered tulle under the skirt to poof it out.


*back of the dress*
I put a zipper in the back. This was my first time using a zipper. I also added a white ribbon around the waist that ties in the back.


*front of the dress*
I added white lace to the neckline.

Baby Shoes

I found a tutorial for cloth baby shoes at Stardust Shoes. But.. it wasn't quite what I wanted and so I checked out other shoes and made my own pattern. I still have a few things to fix and move around and try on the pattern. It's fun to make my own pattern actually. I plan to post pictures of the different shoes as I try different ideas and make adjustments to the pattern and make sure that it fits Katelin's feet better.

This first pic is the 'prototype shoe'. It is the very first shoe and was definitely too small for Kate.

The finished product! ...so far anyways. :) Modeled by my Kate.

Twiddler Tag Blankie

I found the cutest tag blanket tutorial at Mama's Doodles
So, I decided to whip one up for Kate. She absolutely loves it and so do I. I am so excited and I hope family is too, because the baby relatives are probably going to get one.
