Apron Knot Dress

This Christmas I have been busy making gifts for family and friends.  I have been tempted to post pictures of the goodies I am making, but I am afraid that someone will check my site and discover what they are getting.  So, I decided that I would post some other sewing projects that I have worked on earlier in the year.   That is before I officially became The Frock Princess.

For Lexie's birthday I made her an Apron Knot Dress.  She looked so cute crawling around in her pretty attire.  What I like about this dress is that it grows with the child.  It starts out as a dress and then it can later become a shirt.

Here is what the dress looks like:

Isn't it cute?  The theme for her party was pink and brown polka dots so I went along with the theme in the dress. 

Here is what Lexie thought of her birthday dress:

She loved it!

I can make this dress in a variety of fabric colors and designs.  Cost: $25 Sizes: 6mths to size 8

Hark the Herald Angels Sing!

So my little angel is going to be an angel in a play at school.  So, I was responsible for coming up with a costume for him.  I have been feeling a little lazy lately (probably this cold weather), and I did not want to drive to the fabric store.  It is 25 minutes away, and I just was not feeling it.

Ah-Ha moment: Use old pillowcases.  I dug out two of our mismatched pillowcases and created this angelic costume for my little angel!

You'll have to pardon the wrinkles since the pillowcases have been sitting in our trunk for at least 10 years.   Hey, I said I was feeling lazy.  Didn't have the desire to iron either! :)

I can't wait to see my little angel sing!  Hope you have a blessed Christmas, and remember that Jesus Christ is the true reason for the season!
