Yesterday I asked Aubry to model her new dress for the camera and she was less than enthusiastic about it. She didn't mind wearing the dress (she loves it), it was the camera part that didn't sound fun. I told we would make it super quick--3 minutes or less--and then she could call it quits.
The sunshine was pretty cooperative which more than made up for my not-so-cooperative model.
I used one of the new Modkid patterns--Frida--by Patty Young and I loved it. There are lots of photographs of the steps and the design of the dress is just adorable. Flower Power and Bijoux fabrics were our final choices, although there were numerous bolts of fabric on the table when we finally decided. I always have a hard time narrowing things down.
Sewing clothes still scares me a little bit, but I am getting better about trying new things. Aubry wants one of the Lil' Chef sets, but she will have to wait until Micah gets a pair of pajama pants and I get going on my Darla quilt. It is always nice to have a few things in the works as long as they fun projects like these ones!
This is what Aubry felt like after our 3 minute photo-shoot:
Happy Monday!
