first off...i want to apologize to those of you who have had boys recently or to those of you who have had girls in the past. this was my first attempt at baby clothes and i don't think there would be too many clothes items i could actually make for a baby boy. i have realized in the last year or so that i love to sew!!! who would have thought that something like this would be almost stress relieving to me. i have tried sewing in the past making blankets and such but the old sewing machine didn't do me any favors. steven lovingly purchased me a new one a couple of years ago and i am finally getting into trying new things. the last time i tried to sew a piece of clothing was at ruth's parents house in vegas. i tried to make myself a pair of pants (needless to say, i don't think they were ever wearable.) well i take that back, i made a dress for lily with steven's mom's help. i feel like the only reason it turned out was because i had her to watch my every move. she used to sew all of the time and is amazing! i am glad that i was able to live by her for a while so i could learn something about being domestic. (sorry mom, i learned a lot from mike as well.)
well i wish i had a better picture of the dress but i already gave it away as a baby gift but this was the cutest dress ever. somebody actually gave me the fabric and i came across this pattern online and thought hey...why not! i made another one of these dresses that is even cuter but i can't post a picture until i give it to the intended person. you can't tell here but the dress is lined with the other fabric that is also on the boots.
the boots were just an after thought but i thought they came out pretty darn cute.

I love, love, love it. What a great job you did on this. I am impressed Miss Jana,
And those shoes are to die for.
I have asked for a sewing maching for the past 7 years of my marriage - and I still don't have one. I think John thinks that I just can't do it, so why bother.
More than cute. I'm so impressed. You've come a long way since our "quilt" making back in the day. Can't wait (oh wait yes I can) till I have my next baby for you to sew for =)
wow! nice! ok, so now i am going to expect something homemade from you :) right?
wow, those are so cute! you're so talented. let's get together soon- maybe a playdate this week?
HAHAHAHA I'm still laughing about the pants!!!! But holy crap I hope i have a girl just to get that adorable dress.
I just love this dress. I think I came across the pattern the other day. Have you made your other one yet? Make sure to post pics, because I love the fabric.
Sewing is such a de-stresser.
did you see Naomi in it on Cortney's blog?
