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.

| Bullion Daisies |
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.

| No sahes to trip over |
 |
| Tucked hem for a neat and quick finish. |
Here it is in pink, with piping around the neck and sleeve bindings.
 |
| Gifted to a great niece for her Christening |
 |
| Fabric pleated and blocked |
 |
| Shadow play in the morning light |
 |
Blocked-- and all right to go now.
I will find some threads to match, and work on this - this afternoon. |
