Yay!! Week #1 Pattern Remix!

Finally!! Time to share the dress I've worked hard on the past few weeks. First, this post will be really basic since it's from my mobile phone..no internet here in the new house yet. Hopefully within the next day or two..then I will come back and edit and add links.
For now, here it us, bare bones... Project Run and Play, pattern remix, Oliver & S popover dress... Here is my take!!
Changes I made:
-Doubled the width of the yoke, I wanted to show off the little birdie fabric.
-Added a piece and two buttons to the bodice/yoke
-Added width to the dress, losing three A line and gaining some body
-Added length in order to create a bubble skirt
My very last minute adorable model was a tad too small for the smallest pattern in this dress, but my other girlfriends were busy, and I only had her for the one visit, so it's a bit long on her. Oh well, still cute and she didn't want to take it off, so that's always good to hear!
Next week is candy inspired, can't wait!! I'm already amazed by the talent of everyone, can't wait to see what the designers come up with!!

Test!

Testing posting from my phone :)

Testing..testing.. is this thing on?? Ahem. Knocking the dust off... No, but seriously, I can't even just laugh it off and say, "Oh, I've been a bad blogger!".. I seriously just plain haven't blogged at all since I had Parker! I've spent every moment with the kid since he was born, and let me tell you.. he is very high need! He's 10 months (and 5 days!) and he still demands every single second of my time, at all times. Phew. And when he's napping, I'm trying to clean or sew! I opened up a teeny tiny little shop.. fb.com/PlanetParkerShop ... right now it's mostly baby items (bibs, Boppy covers, etc.), but I am moving more towards clothing soon.. and so excited about it! That's actually why I'm knocking off some of the dust over here.. I'm sewing along with the designers over on Project Run and Play! So fun, I'm really excited! It's kind of like Project Runway, but for kids clothes! All of the designers competing are really great, so inspirational. It will be fun to sew along with them each week and see what everyone makes! So stay tuned... week 1 is "pattern remix". They gave us a cute little sundress pattern, and we have to kind of, make it our own. This was really fun! I am having a little model come over this week and try the dress on so that I can hem it. Can't wait to see it actually on a little girl! I already can't imagine topping this dress with any of the other weeks. It's just. So. Pretty. Can't wait to reveal it, at the end of this week!! :)

It's oh so very hard to blog still! Between taking care of him and the house, and napping when I can - I'm beat! I don't know how some people do it.

I take tons of pictures of P and am very much enjoying being his Mommy! He's 2 months 2 days old as I type this and he just laughed for the first time! Such a miracle and a blessing he is.
