She truly IS growing up . . . .and keeps us on our toes ALL. THE. TIME! We feel the same way about other “blogging babies” that now aren’t babies anymore.

I love her ‘magic trick’. =) Beautiful check matching, and I like the change of direction on the pockets and sleeves. I really like using the invisible zipper foot made for my machine…or I did, until that machine broke! I also like the results better if I baste the zipper in instead of pinning.

Also you’ve definitely made us take a second look at that pattern!

And it always makes me smile when I have seen pictures of children on blogs now for so long, and to see their growth. Awesome that your sister sent you this pattern, it’s fantastic! Love the dress.

I love the combination of the fabric, piping and pattern. The bias checks on the side panels are great. And the fit is perfect. So cute!
