Dusting off the sewing machine


It's been a while since I've sat down at my sewing machine. It was in storage for a couple of years while I was living in New York, but after a quick service it's ready for use once again.

Girl's clothes are just so sweet. There are only so many skull and crossbone jumpers I can knit for my boys but the girls things, oh! I have scores of patterns saved in my Ravelry queue waiting for a little girl if I happen to have one. In the mean time I enjoy making pretty girly things for friends.

These little sundresses were quick and fun to make. I decided to line them with soft cotton so they did take a little longer to make up. The result was worth the time though. I thought the dresses looked amazing finished and the little girls all looked so beautiful of course.
