None of these are great photos, but they are the best pictures I have of my latest sewing projects. Alyx’s top is a little wrap shirt that I modified from a dress pattern that originally had a zipper in the back. I reworked the pieces, lined the whole thing and shortened the skirt to make it a blouse. I love how it turned out and want to make a few more before she grows out of the pattern.
Annaliese’s dress/top is straight from the pattern, no alterations. I love the fabric that Anna chose. It is so vibrant and lends itself beautifully to the simple design of the garment. The next time I make this I want to use a variety of simple fabrics to showcase the different design elements. I also think it would be cool to piece together the skirt in several different tie-shaped wedges to further accentuate the handkerchief hem (and use up some of my endless supply of scraps).
I wish I had a better picture of Anna spinning because, wow, when she gets going that hem starts fluttering like a butterfly.

Those are wonderful!!! I can't believe how big the girls are, and how much Alyx looks like I remember Anneliese when we first met you guys. They're both just beautiful. :o)
I found this neat little pattern shop, where all proceeds go to two children's charities. The patterns are fun, and I thought you'd like to see them.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
