Possibly the cutest outfit I've ever made

I finished this sweater ages ago.  It's the Phoebe Sweater from the book Phoebe's Sweater by Johanna Johnson which by the way is an adorable book about a Mamma knitting a sweater for her little girl. This was really a lovely pattern.  The triumph of this project was using the kitchener stitch to seam up the hood.  And I did it almost perfectly! I made a size 4 but lengthened the sleeves and the hood to fit Margot's measurements.  Margot is in between the size 4 and 6 and I wanted this sweater to be a more fitted sweater.  I think the size 6 would have been huge.   Anyhow, I love the way it turned out!

Here Margot is wearing the Phoebe Sweater on top of the Jump Rope dress I just finished.  I think this is possible the cutest outfit I've ever made.  Don't you agree?

Here's the latest Jump Rope dress I made.  This is version B.  Margot was not thrilled version I made for her first day of school.  She disliked that version because of the waist sash and bow. 

This is Margot on her first day of school.  See that offensive sash and bow?  She hates it.  Such a silly girl because I think this one is pretty darn cute too. 

Anyhow, back to Version B.  I love it!  It's such a great dress.  It's really such a great pattern.  I could make it over and over.   Version B is great for winter because it looks so cute with a thick pair of tights underneath.  I also wore a full slip on Margot for extra warmth.  

I have lots of projects I am working on that I need to update you on.  I just finished a big project- the cross stitch birth announcement for my niece Naomi.  I also finished some more sewing for Margot.  A pair of Nature Walk Pants, a Sailboat Skirt, a Music Box Jumper and most recently the Music Class Blouse.  

I've ordered some fabric for some sewing for me and Brent.  A vest for Brent, a dress and some loungewear for me.  My machine needs to go in to be serviced so hopefully I'll get it back quickly and working better than ever.  The buttonholer has been acting up.
