I have been wanting to make something for the baby of some friends of ours. The baby is now over a year old and I finally got around to making and finishing the project. The turquoise is from a recycled t-shirt and the lining t-shirt fabric was in my stash leftover from other projects. The rabbit is from Alabama Stitches, and the dress is an easy jumper pattern that I have used for my daughter for years. This time I experimented with a bleach pen to write the word starfish all over the fabric and then used reverse applique to have the starfish swimming on the jumper. I thought it was a fun little play dress.
I also worked on a couple of things for my daughter for spring and summer. Here is a jacket that I made. I bought the book
Sewing Clothes Kids Love. I love this book, and I had such fun sewing this jacket, now I think I am going to have to make myself one. I am trying to use up the stash of fabric that I have for the sewing projects that I have bought for and not gotten around to starting/finishing. This jacket was just so much fun to make!

Cute! I would love that jacket, too! She'll be the envy of the princess set.
