Dresses!

This is a dress

for a sweet baby girl who is not yet born.

I tried out a new smocking pattern on this one,

and I decided that I really like it!

I'm pretty sure that I'll be using the same pattern

on this dress, too :

I haven't started smocking this one yet.

I only just ran it through my pleater last week.

And, I have to say ... it went through like a dream.

No broken needles (yay!)

And only a one or two dropped pleats (double yay!)

I think it's the weight of the fabric ... really light and soft.

I decided to smock this with bubblegum colors.

I can't wait to see how it turns out!!!

And, although it doesn't look like it now,

this, too, is a dress ...

... for a baby girl I just can't wait to meet.

She has some of the coolest parents I know.

I think I'll smock it in either red or white, or both. 

Maybe with a touch of black, too ... not sure yet.

Hmmm ... I guess I'm in one of those seasons of life

where all my friends are having babies!!!
