dresses for dahlia

spring dresses for Dahlia

Though things are back to normal since Dahlia's birth, the heady fumes of wee snuggly infant still make me a little dizzy and giddy with glee, and I've been so focused on her (and Finn) that I have fallen a little out of touch with my ol' friend the internet. For instance, I had no idea this week is the Kids' Clothes Week Challenge. Honestly, I had no idea there was even such a thing as a Kids' Clothes Week Challenge in the first place. Now that I know, though....

I'm in! Because it is spring, and I'm in love. And I want to sew ALL THE CLOTHES. I whipped up these little dresses (the Sweet Dress pattern by Leila & Ben) last week. Check out Dahlia loungin' in her chevron dress:

I made the 3-6 month size, and it just fits her. I am planning to make a couple more this week in the 6-9 month size and to make a couple of tops based on this pattern. I've got my fabrics ready, and I'm ready to sew!

i love my little peanut

Love the chevron dress! I'm sitting this KCWC out since I have a 1.5 month old and a 3 y.o. demanding all of my time! Impressed at what you've accomplished!

I love the bright orange sleeves on those two dresses. They just help punch up the adorableness level!
