Miss Aine

I've posted many photos over the last few years of little girls dresses. But this week I made my first little boy's shirt and I think I am converted to loving boys clothes. This shirt is so stinkin' cute! My little man is so happy with it and wants to wear it every day. It doesn't get much better than that!

Emily requested a new dress for her baby doll this morning. I didn't quite make a dress, but I hope she'll be happy with baby's new outfit!

Emily is going to a party on Monday for the little sister of one of her friends. And this morning I realised I'd no gift. And no little dresses left in my stash. All the dresses I have are age 2-4, and this little girl is only turning one. So out came the sewing machine and a good mix of fabrics. I'd forgotten how much I love making little girls' dresses, mixing colours and patterns. This dress has quite a summer feel in fresh blues and peachy orange.  Now if we could just get some summer weather here in Ireland!

Every time I'm at the sewing machine these days Oliver is over asking if what I'm making is for him. So after finishing a few dresses I decided to make a waistcoat for him. It's made from one of DH'snold shirts and is modelled on a H&M waistcoat Oliver got last Christmas. Think it turned out pretty cute!
