Blessing Outfit For Boy
This was a fun BIG project. I had never made pants before so that was a new experience. I was dreading it for two reasons. First I had never done them and second because the pattern called for elastic for the waist. To my surprise they were one of the easiest parts of the whole outfit! This project was crocheted using Bernat Softee Baby sport weight yarn in white and light blue. The light blue is actually white and light blue yarn twisted together so it gives it a very soft look.

Dresses
I made this blessing dress for my niece that is a month old.
I found the pattern that I used for the skirt and thought it was so adorable and delicate. Just what a blessing dress should be. I also used that same pattern for the sleeves. I added a cute and simple trim to the neck, sleeves, and skirt to give it a finished look and to tie all the elements together. There are four buttons down the back and I used a silver sheer ribbon at the waiste and end of the sleeve.
The jumper I made for my 4 year old daughter.
This was another pattern that I altered because I needed a bigger size and I wanted a detail of some kind on the bodice. I went with stripes. Which is an easy way to add interest to a project. I continued the stripe idea onto the skirt, but in a different way.
I loved the way these dresses turned out! Let me know what you think. Any suggestions to make them better would be welcome.
