Something Sweet

Just finished up my niece's birthday present for her party tomorrow. I started a coordinating dress for her older sister Maddie (whose birthday was last month...), but haven't quite finished that one yet.


The pattern is Sister Smocks by Indygo Junction; not the easiest pattern to follow for a first-timer, but once I figured out how to pin everything correctly it came together pretty quick. And I can't forget a thanks to Mom for the advice and demo on basting and gathering - definitely a lifesaver! :)
