Simplicity 1211

So five of these now, I am really liking this pattern.  This rock version is my most recent, G wanted a dress for hcer Rok unit at school, and for the field trip to the rock and mineral museum.  We couldn't find the cool crystal fabric in time for the field trip, but this landscape fabric worked well and looked cute with the cowl I knitted.  I am hankering for some mustard colored knitware lately... if you see a cute cardigan, let me know!

This is my favorite dress, the koi print is awesome!  

Though hard to get the puppet wielding gal to sit still enough for the picture to be very sharp.

The first one was a very light blue linen that she loves the most of all, I have a cute bird/cactus one for a friend's birthday and a blue floral one that is a lighter weight lawn fabric that will be so nice in the spring.  I"ll try to get those pictured in here soon.  (but a quiet breakfast that I enjoyed recently... there is a certain glee at our homemade food, Brian's bread, berry jam from the summer, my version of nutella, coffee... add that into a quiet morning is pretty blissful)

Here's the deal, I get a pattern, I look at it for weeks, if not months and think about it, then one day I get up the courage to trace it out, and cut out the pattern.  Then I start looking at fabric, and get loaded up on things that look nice, and then FINALLY I made one, and it went well, now I have made 5 (with at least one or two more in the wings).  Poor Grace can't exactly keep up the enthusiasm for the same dresses that I can have for sewing them, but at least these she seems interested in the twirly skirt and likes the overall pattern.
