I had some yarn left over from my slouchy hat, so I made a quick hat for Chloe. And then I thought that she needed something to wear with it. So I made her a dress (Simplicity 5695 of course). Originally I had planned on doing the sleeves out of the red fabric, but I didn't have enough. So I did a little search in my stash and came up with the polka dot. Sometimes stash sewing forces you to be a little more creative. I need that because even though I like to create things, I'm not naturally "creative."
Instead of grocery shopping yesterday morning I made this hat. It was a gray day and snuggling up with a ball of yarn was much more appealing than hauling groceries. I used THIS pattern. I followed the instructions exactly and my hat is a little less "slouchy" than the picture with the pattern, but I'm okay with that. It's slouchy enough.
I made this dress for a baby shower I went to last night. It's Simplicity 5695 (my go-to pattern for little girl dresses). I didn't have time to go to the fabric store, so I tried to mix and match what I had on hand. The brown is left-over backing from the quilt my sisters and I made for my Mom, the red is from Lydia's star quilt, and I used the print in a few quilts I've made. It's not your traditional sweet pink baby dress, but it was fun to try something different.
