Here is a little dress for Rachel. She's 2. Trying to get a 2 year old to stand still so you can capture the different design elements of her new dress is hard.
First she wants to dance.
Then she wants to wander away.
She spots something on the ground that peeks her interest. Fine, maybe I'll get a good shot of the back this way.
Or not. Taking a picture of the back of something on a toddler is just about impossible.
Seriously.
Aaaand, I give up.
This dress is the combined effort of my mom (who was in town last week) and me. She did all the major sewing, I finished up the details. I've made this pattern before in overall form. This time around we made the small for the width and the biggest size for the length. It seemed a little short, so a solid band was added to the bottom. The fabrics are thin whale corduroy, both from JoAnn's.
I love her outfit. She is so adorable.
ReplyDeleteCute dresser, cuter baby! She really is growing up! Seems like only yesterday she arrived in this world. Love the polka dot fabric.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute. I've been meaning to make something out of corduroy for my younger daughter for some time. Why don't I get around to it?
ReplyDeleteOh, and I have HUNDREDS of photos like this of both my girls. I follow blogs where moms always get studio quality photos of their children. That just isn't happening with mine. Even with a good camera. :)
Oh she has grown and love the dress and dancing.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is great, but oh my gosh THAT HAIR!! love it!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe she is 2! She has adorable hair. Excellent joint effort on the dress.

ReplyDeleteRe the blurry pictures - I could never snap my kids with a regular point-and-shoot, so I ended up getting a dSLR and speed light flash. No more vague form of kid whizzing past the frame.
Adorable little girl and the outfit too.. Love the photos of her.. She did a great job.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is adorable! I wonder if you would consider adding the gadget to allow someone to subscribe via email? It surely makes it easier to follow when someone can't spend a lot of time at the computer. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteShe is ADORABLE!!! I love that curly hair.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little dress! How fun your mom and you worked on it together. I cannot believe Rachel is 2 already. She sure is a cutie pie! I love her curly hair.
ReplyDeleteha ha I know your pain, but that cute little face makes it worth it right? Wait for another year and then she'll start pulling silly poses and faces and you'll be exasperated trying to get a natural smile....
