WOYWW 3

Stamping Ground hosts What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday every week.  Here is mine:

The baby dress is finished.  It's a size 1, but will be enormous on a one-year-old, and will probably fit her until she is 3!



I finally found the pattern for a sundress I've been wanting to smock for my niece for months.  Then I found out that her birthday is in less than 2 weeks--and a late delivery is no good because my brother is taking his family overseas for a few months right after that.   A really late delivery would be OK, but I'm going to try to get it done.   This is the dress I want to make--it has smocking front and back, which will take longer, but its double layer of fabric is both super-cute and practical.  The construction is simple and ingenious.

  1. Oh wow, you have a smocking machine! I haven't seen one of those in years. Your little dress is just lovely. It has been 27 years since I have done any smocking, yet I still think it is one of the most beautiful of the hand crafting arts. Good luck with your new project. Hugs Cathryn #146
