\"puperita-colleen6\"<\/p>\n

Good morning!! It’s good to be back! I have to warn you, though. I’m jumping the gun because the husband is still murmuring\u00a0about adding another security measure or two, but I decided I just needed to get back into the blogging groove or I would lose all motivation and this little space would die a quiet, unacknowledged death. There’s a small chance that the blog will go down again, but I think it’s safe to proceed with caution.<\/p>\n

Later this week, I’ll do a roundup of some fun things going on with Sewing Happiness<\/a> and Little Kunoichi<\/a>, but for now, I want to share a post that is long overdue.<\/p>\n

\"puperita-colleen5\"<\/p>\n

I was supposed to partake in the celebration of Annalisa of Puperita<\/a> a few weeks ago, but then the crazy hacking thing happened and…well, here we are. I discovered Puperita earlier this year when I made the puffy jacket<\/a>. The pattern was excellent and it was fun to modify the hoodie into a puffer — Annalisa is amazingly prolific!! I took note of several other patterns I wanted to try, and when Emi<\/a> of Just Add Fabric<\/a> contacted me about participating in this lovely tour spearheaded by Jenya of While She Was Napping<\/a>, naturally I said yes.<\/p>\n

\"puperita-colleen8\"<\/p>\n

This is the Colleen Dress<\/a> for knits. If there’s even a smidgen of woven fabric involved, I’ve learned that K won’t wear anything I’ve made. I had a feeling that this\u00a0super simple style would appeal to her and I offered her several choices in knit fabric:<\/p>\n

\"puperita-colleen7\"<\/p>\n

I was betting that she would choose the second one from the top with the turquoise and yellow. I was wrong; she immediately selected the navy and white stripes (inwardly I was hoping she would bypass it so I could use it for myself).<\/p>\n

\"puperita-colleen3\"<\/p>\n

With such a straightforward pattern, there’s not a whole lot to say, but as per usual the Puperita pattern came together nicely. Also, I made this so long ago, the details are pretty fuzzy in my brain. One thing I do remember: I didn’t add the little bow on the neckband since K seems to be drifting away from “cutesy” details.<\/p>\n

\"puperita-colleen4\"<\/p>\n

Highly approved, this is a dress that’s going to get much love. I tell you, tween sewing involves a lot of hit or misses, but both Puperita patterns I’ve used have proven to be hits!<\/p>\n

I feel terrible that I couldn’t get this post up in time, but better late than never, right?? Did you already check out all the other wonderful blogs that participated? Here they are:<\/p>\n
