Laowai

Claire has been excited to wear the things I make her lately so I’m motivated to get back into my sewing room.

She requested a dress with a bow on the hip. She’d stick her little hip out and point, “a bow right here mom”. So I tried a new pattern, the Croquet Dress from Oliver + S. The cutting out was a bit frustrating because I only had a small amount of fabric and I wanted the stripes to vary direction for different parts of the dress. I used every last bit of that seersucker. It will be nice to see her wear it with some sandals this summer (instead of those loud striped tights).
