Our sewing group meet this afternoon, so I decided that I needed some handwork to take along. I have a new order for a smocked dress for Miss C.  Miss C  is soon to turn 2 years old, so a dress was requested for the birthday, but to be able to be worn throughout summer as well.

This design was a favourite of mine and also Miss 5BN, she wore it lots and lots, so I decided to make the same for Miss C.

Here it is in pink, with piping around the neck and sleeve bindings.

Blocked-- and all right to go now. 
 
 
I will find some threads to match, and work on this - this afternoon. |
