I made a couple of little dresses for my 3 year old granddaughter while organizing my new sewing studio. These were quick and easy and helped ease me back into this world. I found these patterns on-line from an independent, My Childhood Treasures, that I hadn't heard of before but somehow it showed up when I was doing a search for little dresses. I down-loaded them, found fabric in my newly organized stash and whipped them out in no time. I don't see any reviews of this line on Pattern Review yet.

The first is called the Elke Dress. I used a purple (her favorite color) cotton interlock to sew it up. There is a large collar and bow at the shoulder for pizazz as well as flared sleeves with a deep ruffle.

The second dress is the Bluebell Dress. For this I found a red rayon ponte in the stash. This was a pricey piece that I had purchased for a dress for me but found it too bright when it arrived a few years ago. Not too bright for a 3 year old I thought. She loves this dress and wore it at Christmas to my delight. The hood looks a bit wonky when worn up but very cute otherwise.

For sizing the chest measurement is used. If I had used that as my guideline she should have needed size 1! I chose size 4 which was a wee bit large but a small amount of taking in at the sides made it work. This pattern company has wonderful photographed illustrations that are very thorough. They really walk you through every step. Since they are pretty simple to start with, I think a beginner could do these dresses.

Wow, very cute! And, I have to say, your granddaughter looks quite a bit like you. I love sewing for kids, but don't have any handy right now to do that for, drat.

Betting is a game of luck and chance, but you could stand a better chance of the odds favoring you if you could exhibit due diligence and be careful enough to place a bet after considering every inherent possibility.

When you use a cricket betting app, you can easily find whatever you are looking for. All the menus and options are clear and well-defined, making it super easy to locate the competitions and events you want to bet on. A cricket betting app compresses the information from the main website without sacrificing the functionality of the site.
