Li'l red dress, bloomers, and a cute flowered pinafore


I'd forgotten how much I enjoy sewing. Especially when the sewing machine is working properly. :o) Here's another little dress for Izabella.

Izabella's coming home outfit


It started out by my daughter Kimberly asking me to make a bonnet for her baby to wear home from the hospital. Okay so I did this in yellow per her request. However the shade of yellow I used (the yarn was an extra skein from a baby blanket she asked me to make) did not match the yellow dress she had purchased. So I was then asked to make a little dress. I haven't crocheted in a good 20 years but I thought what the heck I worked my way through the hat pattern I can surely do a dress too. I found a beautiful little shell patterned dress online and proceeded. Not only did I finish the dress but I also made a little diaper cover too. My mother-in-law says she's going to be a well dressed little girl. lol I think she's right.
