Nicole

Oohhh how lovely, congratulations look forward to seeing some beautifully photos and enjoy all those lovely baby cuddles. Sherry

Baby Nicholas was born yesterday early in the morning! Labor was not easy (is it ever?) but luckily it was complication-free and everyone is doing well. I’m itching to start sewing clothes for myself but that will have to wait a week or so … for now I’m lying in bed with my new snook and being catered to 🙂

This Garden Party caught my eye a few weeks ago, and many others’, too, judging by the Flickr comments! It is so simple but perfect with the bias-cut accents.

@Jane, I LOVE that Ice Cream dress on your daughter. So sweet.

Three years ago: Sisters at 1.5 and 2.5 years in Ice Cream tops.

Last summer: Nearly 4 and nearly 5 in mash-up flower girls dresses using Bubble and Music Box patterns.

Aw, thanks @motherof5 and @vothgirl, I am blushing. It is such a great pattern, I want a closet full of them.

@Reeni I can’t seem them either. 🙁

She looks incredible! Totally should put her on the pattern cover – love the combo of fabrics she used. Can’t wait to get this pattern for myself!

Hm, maybe a BHA tutorial is in order for those needing to make big head adjustments! Any volunteers to write one? Meleliza, your last guest post was so detailed and useful, want to tackle this?

Over thirty thousand happy photos in the flickr group, so it seems the brand as a whole is not designed for unusually small heads.

Well, what I wound up doing was putting it on and re-marking the apex. This time only about 8 inches from the side seam, and sewed from there to the same spot where the ‘legs’ of the dart ended before. Hopefully it looks a bit better. I’ll put up a pic as soon as I can get flickr working again!

Here’s an old photo of Julia in her first year of pre-school….and a recent one in a lovely dress made by Sarvi!

My daughter too is in her last year at her current Montessori school and heading off to the big bad world of public schools in the fall!

Oh my goodness Nicole, look at how little they were. They grow too fast. 🙁

Jane

And just saw the photo of your cute girl — and great sewing!

Oh Jane, me too! The most striking ones for me are Jeanne’s daughter and Nicole’s son. From toddler/little boy to young lady/young gent!I have a special spot in my heart for ‘our’ kids. Lucky folks, who get to wear O+S from the beginning.
