\"nani-iro-90cm1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Good morning!\u00a0This weekend I stitched up a teeny tiny dress for a friend’s employer’s daughter (it’s a long story), and I was flooded by memories of when I first started sewing for K. Oh, how I struggled back then! I couldn’t figure out how to attach a bodice lining; I remember being stumped by which\u00a0function to select on my sewing machine to create button holes.<\/p>\n

\"nani-iro-90cm2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And although things have gotten much easier and a whole lot less stressful in terms of sewing, I’ve become quite accustomed to whipping up t-shirts for K so I was surprised by how long this itty bitty sundress took to construct. Of course, because it’s a gift, I was extra careful with my stitching (not so with things I create for K) and didn’t rush anything.<\/p>\n

\"nani-iro-90cm3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The fabric is a luscious Nani Iro double-gauze with metallic polka dots from Miss Matatabi<\/a>. I lined the bodice with a cream cotton lawn from my stash, which should feel nice and smooth against the very chic recipient’s skin. I was happy to bust out my oldie but goodie pattern book<\/a>\"\", which K has long outgrown. Such<\/em> a good book! I’m going to have to find more little ones to sew for because I just love the super small sizes.<\/p>\n

I mean look at the difference between 90cm and 130cm, which is K’s current size:<\/p>\n

\"nani-iro-90cm4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I actually made the same square-necked dress in size 120cm for K here<\/a>, but I didn’t have a good comparison photo, so plopped this geometric one there instead. K was about 3 years old when she wore 90cm. I just can’t believe how much my girl’s grown in the last five years…<\/p>\n

Anyway, the polka dotted sweet frock is on its way to California — bon voyage!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
