1st of 20: Valentine Dress

So I made it a goal this year to sew 20 pieces of clothing for this little princess right here, who looks more like a scared peacock in the picture below. Hahaha! So in honor of Valentines I begin the journey. This is not my best work, nor is it my favorite dress. I really don't even like it that much but it's a start and I'm counting it as my first official piece of the new year. 

Kids portrait gone wrong

And another...

Finally tamed the fro

Totally cheesin' it!

Leila's Christmas Dress

Leila got a new Christmas dress. I've had this material for a long time and never knew what I wanted to do with it, I finally decided to make a dress for my little Leila bum. This was the first time that I cut and sewed without a pattern and I love how it turned out. The skirt is nice and full and I love the peter pan collar. The piping was a last minute added feature and I liked the way it turned out as well. The bow could had been made better but it was a last minute add on to and I only had 10 minutes before church. 

Too many pictures of this girl.

Leila's Sunday best

I made this little dress a looooong ago and am only now putting it on my daughter. Its a tad bit to small but she was a cutie in it even though she was not too happy about taking pictures. =)

Kati's baptism

My best friend's daughter, Kati turned 8 and in our religion we have the privilege of being baptized. Kati wanted a Samoan puletasi to wear to the special occasion. She is the cutest, sweetest little girl and she looked adorable in her Samoan attire.
