I used another Oliver + S pattern for this little number. They've come out with 2 new patterns that I think I just might have to try out. I like Oliver + S because they don't overlook a single detail and I'm a details kind of gal. I think the galoshes go great, Azure's addition to the ensemble. The little yellow, glass, rose button I got in NY. I love the little black dot buttons. I have another project in mind for them.
I tell you, those models you have really steal the show! What a beauty! I love the new project!
ReplyDeleteI love the grey and yellow. reminds me of a certain unfinished tumbling block quilt :)
ReplyDeleteI know, dad. Quilting just isn't my thing. So sorry!
ReplyDeletePerfection! Azure is so stinking cute!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I could wear one myself! She's adorable.
ReplyDeleteHow hard are those Olive + S patterns, you know, for a total beginner like me?
ReplyDeleteCarly, that's the lovely thing about the Oliver + S patterns--they have a difficulty rating. Click on the details of the pattern you like and it will have 1-4 scissors as a guide--one set of scissors being the easiest, such as the Teaparty Dress, or the Sailboat Top/Skirt. Start out with one of those to gauge how much you want to take on. If you've never even used a pattern before, you'll want to read the entire instructions page, including terminology, etc.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Where do you find time to sew, though, having 5 children around the house?
ReplyDeleteSparklebot: 3/5 kids are in school now. I do the laundry really fast. I trim the bushes really fast. I shampoo the carpet really fast (though they dry very slowly). I scrub the toilets really fast. I sweep the walkway really fast. Because, in the back of my mind, I know my reward will be more time to sew.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, Katy. I may try the easiest pattern they have! (Did you get my email about the Shabby Apple design contest?) You should do it.
ReplyDeleteKaty, when you were a child you NEVER moved fast. I didn't realize all it took was a little movitation.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of you looking for buttons, saving them, and then using them for JUST the right project.
ReplyDeleteI love this!
Mom, Is that where my kids get their molasses tendencies? From moi? Hmmm. Maybe I ought to be a little more patient.
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures, so beautiful, I think you keep getting better and better with all these amazing dresses you make. I'm envious!
ReplyDeleteAzure is adorable! Love her new dress and boots.
