Mira, beanpole, has grown out of nearly every stitch of clothing she had last Winter despite my buying and sizing up in hope that we could eek out at least another Fall. In particular, her closet is bare of her favorite clothing items: dresses.
It took me a month to sew her this little Jump Rope Dress from an Oliver + S pattern because all my big sewing plans were put on the back burner, what with the morning sickness and fatigue of early pregnancy. The plaid fabric is from French General, and the floral is something that just appeared in my sewing stash. People sometimes donate things to our sewing cause, and I am fairly certain that this little floral falls under that category.
Mira got dressed up in her new outfit, had her picture taken, came home, took off her dress, hung it up neatly, and announced that she was saving wearing it for school this week. My little clothes horse! Smart, too. It makes me want to sew her an entire closet full of pretty school dresses.
