I recently purchased some African wax print fabric from an Etsy shop and made outfits for my two granddaughters. Here is one of them in it. It was made from the Riley top and Karen Capri pants.</div>

This past weekend I went to the beach for a short vacation with family and friends. When we planned the trip, I thought it would be great for all the children to having coordinating outfits out of Nanoo patterns and take group pictures on the beach. It didn't quite go as planned with 5 of the 7 children under two years old but I did manage to get a few individual pictures.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These were made by a customer using the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/102465535/annalise-dress-pdf-pattern-sizes-1-6">Annalise Pattern</a>. They show how versatile this pattern is and how it can easily be changed to look different. Adding a bow or rick rack trim and using different fabrics changes the look. </div>

The tester has been saving her husband's uniform shirts to make something special out of for her daughter and decided to use them to make the Annalise Dress. The dress isn't gathered as much as the pattern or as long because it was cut from shirts. She wanted to have something for her daughter to represent her husband's time in the military and I think this was such a great idea. She added embroidery on the bodice also for a little color. <br />
<br />
I love things that are sentimental and have meaning and I thought this was perfect for Father's Day.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The last day of 2011. Seems like this year went by so fast. For me this has been the "Year of the Babies". Starting in January with the birth of my first granddaughter and then later the birth of my twin grandbabies (a boy and a girl) in April. Babies bring such joy in a family and we are so blessed with these three little ones. I did manage to do some sewing and hope to work on a couple of new patterns in 2012. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

For this outfit, I combined two patterns - <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/38509749/riley-top-and-pants-pattern-size-1-4">Riley Top</a> for the top and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/50539278/karen-capri-pants-and-halter-top">Karen Capri</a> for the pants and added a smocked insert along the bottom of both. I'll put a turtleneck under the top for cooler weather. I thought this would be a good fabric choice for Fall and into the Spring. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I managed to find a little sewing time to make these two LSU dresses for my granddaughters. I know I have neglected blogging, facebooking sewing and designing. It's been a busy year with the 3 grandbabies. They grow so fast and I try to spend as much time as I can with them. For that reason, I am going to put the pattern designing on hold temporarily; at least for the rest of this year. I have so many ideas for patterns that I hope to begin trying in 2012.Nanettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15224500807714788249noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701825429995817245.post-72912624997472763682011-09-07T17:18:00.000-05:002011-09-07T17:18:26.698-05:00Ready for some sports<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I finally got back in the sewing room to start working on some things for the grandbabies.

I now have 3 grandchildren - a girl born in January and twins (boy and girl) born at the end of April. Along with loving on the new babies, I have been working on a new pattern. Of course, it's named after one of my grandbabies - Dodie. It's a sundress in sizes 1 through 6. <br />
<br />
It should be ready for testing next week. I'll post when it is available.<br />
