I thought today would be a fun day to link to your after-holiday posts sharing some of the gifts you may have made that you couldn't share before. If you are linking to a post that you wrote in the last few weeks - please add a little note about Sew & Tell somewhere, thanks! And of course, you can share anything else you have been working on!
I actually didn't make any gifts for Christmas, that I haven't already shared. But I did get the little dress made for my daughter. I'm really pleased with how it turned out and now I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be making more little dresses. I like a nice quick project.
I liked some of the techniques they used in this pattern. The neck and armholes are finished off with single-fold bias tape. Much easier and better looking than those annoying facings that you usually have to do!
No one was around to take a picture of the two of us, so you get another mirror shot.
Look at my belly! I had to take out all the seams I took in when I initially wore this dress back in November. Ahhh, the woes of pregnancy.
I'm pretty sure she likes it.

What a cutie!!! Your daughter is just too precious. I love the mommy and me dresses! Thanks for sharing! It's great to see everyone back.
Such lovely dresses--even with the seams let out (for such a great reason) you must have felt like princesses. Beautiful!
I love your daughters dress, so cute that now you have matching dresses! :)
Love the belly, love the dresses! Just can't seem to pull that off with all boys! LOL
Healthy day to you all in sunny CA!
Very pretty dress! When I think of making something matching for one of my daughters and me it's hard to imagine not looking tacky but you've pulled it off wonderfully!
super cute. both your girly and your dresses.
The dress looks so sweet! Very nice work.
Beautiful dresses.
Your dresses are adorable. I love that fabric. I am definitely going to use bias tape instead of those annoying facings. Thanks for sharing!
"the woes of pregnancy" - What?!? Pregnancy is the only time we don't have to walk around sucking our tummies in all day!!! Plus, the baby belly is so adorable! OWN it!!!
Oh, and pretty dresses=)
Like may not be a strong enough word! The dresses are perfect!
