Months 45 and 46? And another dress

In the last couple of months especially, K seems to have grown a foot (but really, it's only been an inch at most). She still looks nothing like me and makes me think of a french porcelain doll more than anything else. But there is not an iota of fragility about her. She's stubborn and raucous and loves a good joke. Oh, the jokes! There's nothing like a three-year-old working so hard to bring the house down. At any given moment, she'll sneak a look at you and say coyly, "Lamp pants!!" or some such and expectantly wait for laughter. You can't help but chuckle.

Here is the dress I made for K's preschool pageant (so cute!! the pageant, that is). I love this fabric. It's more of a gray-ish lilac and I used the ubiquitous pattern from the Girly Style Japanese craft book. ISBN 9784579111329 or ISBN 457911132X.

And up close and personal with my crooked top-stiching:

I have to say, this was a surprisingly easy dress to make. Lovely.

You'll notice that K is not modeling any of the dresses. I'm working on it, but they will most likely be headless shots due to a very protective daddy. Internet safety, baby.
