Victoria's Dress for Thanksgiving

This dress used to be mine.  But when I washed it, it shrunk just enough that it didn't look too so very nice anymore.  However, it perfectly fits Victoria, and still looks brand new, into the bargain!  Hard to believe my little girl is almost as big as me.

Victoria's Easter Suit & Dress

Victoria wore this suit to the main morning service.  

We got the jacket fabric from www.fabric.com.

And this dress was for the evening service; Hannah gave her the fabric:

Victoria's Burgundy Thanksgiving Dress

The short jacket (buttons in the back) was too plain, so I got some burgundy cording at Wal-Mart and couched it onto the jacket in swirling loops, using a long zigzag.

Gardening Gloves

A friend gave me a large piece of thermal knit. 

It looked to me like it was just begging to turn into gardening gloves,

so I cut apart a pair of old brown jersey gloves to use for a pattern,

and managed to get half a dozen pairs from the fabric. 

I gave away all but this pair.

I made a scrunchie with the last little piece of fabric.

(No, I didn't keep it.  I look funny in scrunchies.  I gave it to Victoria.)

I printed these tags and attached them to the gloves,

so that if they had an odd fit to them, I wouldn't get the blame.  ;-)

Victoria's Brown Satin Christmas Dress

We found some shoes on eBay labeled 'Bronze' -- and they matched this fabric perfectly.  

The fabric is from www.fabric.com.

I decided the dress needed a bit of garnish, so made this scarf.
