Addicted

Last summer I took a sewing class from Liesl Gibson, the creator of the Oliver and S patterns. I posted about the grey jumper I started that day here. I love their patterns. They are so fun to make, they teach so much in their directions, and I think they are pretty cute when finished!

This summer they had a sale on their patterns and I went a little crazy.

With the kids back to school I had a bit of time this last week to make up these Ice Cream Social dresses for the girls.

Woof-woof happily has worn hers twice this week.

Next on the docket is a pair of church pants for Sweetie. And then I have the material for a few more dresses to make up for the girls. And then it's time to think of the holidays and Christmas gifts. It's going to be a fun fall.

On a different note, the weather turned cool here last week. So cool that I pulled out a hat for the Little One to wear in the mornings. I clipped a flower to it for fun. I'm still not quite sure if I'm a big-flower-on-my-baby kind of mom, but it was fun to put it on her hat for a morning walk.

I sure am hooked on these patterns. I wish I had caught that sale. Woof Woof looks adorable in her new dress!

I love the flower on the hat. It always looks so cute on other peoples children! And then I second guess myself when I do it to my own. Love it!

The dressed are darling.

And the flower is not too over the top. I think the picture is darling. The time I don't like it is when the flowers are bigger than the baby's head, and I have seen them. All you see is flower, not baby.

ADORABLE!!! Can you make those dresses in woman sizes? :)

And what great models you have with Woof Woof and Little One...I agree with Megan about being the "flower kind of mom." Girls are so much fun!!! Miss you guys....still!
