Aprons and Culottes






Culottes for Girls  - it only went down to a size 4, so I modified it slightly so it would be smaller.  They are long.  However, it is winter and so far, they haven't hampered standing up like long dresses do.

Girls Edwardian Apron - Christmas present for girls.  Now the girls can help without messing up their clothes!!  They are very excited.  I think one is already planning/setting up the kitchen for lunch.

New Pattern Company???

Found a link today for a new pattern for girls/womens dresses.  This pattern is based on The Sound of Music - when the couple is dancing in the rain - called Liesel's Dancing Dress.  Looks beautiful - take a look for yourself Edelweiss Patterns.  Now to finish the other dresses I have in the queue.....
