I was just thinking - what happened to March? Then I realized that I spent a lot of time making grandgirl clothes. I made the Oliver and S Ice Cream dress for the 5 year old and the 7 year old, though in different fabrics. That pattern is a little pricey but I love the styling, and the instructions are pretty good too - very thorough. Each of them also got a shirred sun dress. What fun those were to make - just thread that narrow elastic thread into the bobbin and away you go! Just stitch, steam and finish. My 5 year old grandgirl also received a Kyoko dress, a pattern by ModKid. She calls it her Mulan dress. My 7 year old grandgirl is receiving a little Ottobre varsity-style jacket since she lives way up north and won't be wearing a bare sun dress for a while.

Now I'm ready to make something for myself. I took Pam Howard's fitted sheath class and I'm anxious to make a few - some as dresses, some as tops. I'm not sure I really like me in a dress but they are really comfortable, so we'll see.
Oh I just love the Ice Cream Dress pattern. Yours look great! How stylish the girls will be. I have that Kyoto pattern but am stuck on what fabrics to use. LOVE your choices.
