Upcycled dress

Part of the reason I haven't made as many dresses lately is because I haven't needed to. Our neighbors frequently clean our their closets and grace us with a lot of clothes for the girls. The dress in this picture was made from one of the summer dresses given to us. In it's former life it was a big girl dress that was too wide up top and not long enough on the bottom. However, the fabric and print were wonderful and I had just the right yarn colors to match. 

In case you're wondering, this is not the mystery knitting project I posted a few days ago. But they will go together.

Dress of the running child

My running toddler...its not the best picture of the dress, and I have no idea how the color turned out this 1970's yellow shade, but I love these pics of the newest dress none-the-less.

My hands feel old. There's more dressed in my mind than the hands can finish.

Lime for the fall

 Just finished knitting this last night and got the dress sewn up this afternoon.

The sleeves should shrink up a bit after it's washed, but they are a bit longer then I'd intended. Oh well...

I'm not even going to bother with a headband...she won't wear them anyhow.

Not for Sale

....but I wanted to show you what I've been working on over the last couple weeks. I've been working on improving my dress pictures so my customers could get more clear, dress focused images.
