Sew Christmassy

Ok, I'll admit it, I'm loving myself sick over these two lovelies I sewed for a friend's little one on her first Christmas!

Every little girl (and we not so little ones too!) needs a pretty Christmas dress to wear on the big day!
I used the same pattern as on the pink caterpillar dress, with red homespun, and a white with red polka dot cotton for the facing.
Super cute!!!
And, since the little one is destined to be a Swans fan, hopefully this will take her through the festive season and into the footy season ;o)

And a Christmassy stocking, ready for hanging (yes, that's right, by the chimney with care), and filling by the big guy in the red suit - assuming she stays on the nice list!! ;o)
I love these stockings - my sisters and I, and all our cousins, have each had one since we were teeny tinys ourselves!
Each year my mum makes a couple for close friends with babies, and this was my first try and making one myself.
After a couple of phone chats with mum I think this one turned out just perfect =)
