playdate

I think I cut out this pattern just before Heather and I left for her Vermont sewing workshop in July. It's finally finished, after snatching a little sewing time here and there when I passed "the workroom," as we facetiously call our converted closet.

This is an Oliver + S Playdate Dress, shortened and with the pockets removed to be a tunic for Tsia. I made it from chambray (what's not to love about chambray?), and cut the ruffles on the bias so they would fray a bit and didn't need to be finished on the edges. She loves it!



Can anyone tell me where to purchase girl's bobby socks? We only seem to find sporty socks in the shops around us, and we really need something that looks better with her school shoes.

Also, I was thinking about why I haven't been blogging much. I think it's mostly because I'm tired of lugging the giant camera everywhere. But Tsia's little digital camera (it's a regular digital camera, but we purchased it mostly for her) just isn't doing it for me. After two shots (that photo at the top is one of the shots) I decided I'd better start carrying the big camera, after all. I'll work on it.
