sugar & spice

Ignoring the fact that a post on my blog is LONG overdue (gulp!), I had a few moments to post a quick tidbit about some new dresses I made this morning. I still need to figure out what kind of closures I want on the backsides (ie. buttons or snaps or…or…?), but I thought I would give you all a little sneak peek. The Hub’s comments about our future spawn in regards to the gender specific clothes that I sew: “Our little girl is going to be the cutest thing…either that or our little boy is really out of luck.” He couldn’t have said it better. Little girls just look so much cuter in dresses…and heck, they’re a HOOT to make!

Some notes: I made the red one with different armholes. I just turned them in and hemmed them instead of covering them with cotton binding. I like that it made the straps a little more narrow…instead of shoulder-pad looking. Even if I continue to put binding in the armholes, like in the white and green dress, I think I’ll make the straps a bit more narrow. Thoughts?

About Me

My name is Jessie. My middle name is Lane. I like the sound of the 2 of them together, though perhaps people might worry that I've been a misplaced country singer. I'm a 20-something California girl who married to a very tall Swede. We currently live in his hometown of Uppsala. I live a joyful and inspired life and I love all things home, design, photo, fashion, culinary, crafty and the like. This blog is a reflection of all that feeds my wandering soul...
