stitching away

I've been keeping very busy lately, This month alone I have made 3 dresses for my daughter, and I have made 2 for the 'Dress a Girl around the world' campaign.  I also finished my first knitting 'project' if that is what you want to call it. The fabrics for the Dress a Girl dresses are some that I had folded up in my stash, that I have been looking to do something with but couldn't find the perfect project.

 Dress a Girl Dresses





















If you want to get involved with the dress a girl,  the dress a girl button will take you to Kristy's blog so you can get more information.

This green and yellow striped dress is for my daughter. Now, I need to make her some shorts before it gets hot. The pattern for this dress is the toddler version of Made by Rae's 'Itty Bitty dress'  I just added pockets.


And lastly, my knitting project.  I went 'simple' and made a dish cloth.  I have enough of this yarn left to make another one...I think, well I'm at least going to try.





I think I need to put the dress making to the side for a few days, minus the commission ones that I'm waiting on a few things for, and maybe work on my pay it forward gifts that I need to get done.  I still have 2 left to do, so if you haven't gotten yours yet, don't worry I haven't forgotten you.
