happy 1st birthday abby!!!

the cutest niece ever is turning 1 whole year old today. as i said earlier, i did a bit of sewing for her birthday. the first outfit i did was exactly like the one that they showed on the pattern, because it was so darn cute and there was blue gingham on sale. how could i resist?

i had a harder time picking a fabric for the second one, but the butterfly camo won. jeremy really thought i should add ammo storage... i at least did orange rickrack in case she's hunting on public land.

oscar was nice enough to let me try the dress on him.. it's especially smashing over his batman pajamas. i think this is the sort of picture i'm supposed to save for future girlfriends...


i also made one of those fabric books that comes as a yard of fabric and you sew it together, but forgot to take a picture. we hope you have a fabulous birthday, abby!

I'm not sure the model photos are damaging enough for future girlfriends. Oscar doesn't look quite happy in them. Now if he's wearing a pink tutu and grinning from ear to ear, that's the one you save as blackmail.

Your sewing projects are impressive indeed. You have a lucky niece!
