Elsie's Christmas Dress

Elsie's Christmas dress -- and a little bow for her hair -- is all done!

The dress is lined, and there is a layer of white netting with black lace trim between the skirt and lining. There are lined netting caps in the sleeves.

Baby Outfits All Done

This afternoon I got a package of Babyville Boutique plastic snaps and a pair of Babyville Boutique snap pliers.  It's been so long since I applied snaps to baby clothes, I didn't even know they made such things.

This evening I finished the baby outfits (pajama bottoms, onesie, bonnet, and booties) for Keira, Carolyn, and Violet.  The matching blanket, lined with white thermal knit, is under them.

Baby Blanket and Outfit

Today I made a baby blanket and started one of three matching outfits I cut out yesterday.  A onesie and the pajama bottoms are done except for snaps on the top, and there are matching bonnet and booties, too.  This is the size 3 months, for Baby Violet.  I have a 24 months cut for little Carolyn, and 6 months for Baby Keira.  The blanket is 47" x 67", a good-sized crib blanket.  The fabric is a soft, thin knit, and I lined it with white thermal knit.

Two Skirts, Cream and Navy

I was cutting up double knits in preparation for making rag-shag rugs, when I came upon a couple of pieces of fabric that I couldn't stand to chop to bits... so I made skirts.

Emma's and Elsie's Easter Dresses, Altered

This was a little jumper; I added sleeves.

Emma's dress was too short.  Added band and sash.  The gray fabric has a small lavender dot; the lavender fabric has a small gray dot.

So of course Elsie's dress had to match.

These dresses will be for the Fourth-of-July picnic:
