Recently I participated in a Sew A Long with Little Lizard King. What is a Sew A Long you might ask? Typically pattern makers have Facebook groups and they will choose one pattern to write blog posts about, post pictures of and just offer help to those working on the pattern. Oh, and there are usually prizes, and who doesn't love prizes! I LOVE their patterns. They are easy to follow, well written instructions that make Fabulous dress' and other items for your little ones!
This pattern is the Elise, it comes in sizes 3 months through 12 with an 18" doll pattern as well. This was the pattern I used last year to make Isabella's Easter dress. She no longer fits into it so I knew she needed another one.
Although I don't let her play with the American Girl dolls yet, I had to make a matching dress! Her dolls will have a closet full by the time she can play with them! The bonus of the dolls, they are amazing models and the shoot with them takes no time at all.
On the other hand the shoot with Belle, is a little more work! But seriously in a year, look at how my baby has grown.
Looking back at these photos, I apparently like this backdrop.
I sewed this up at night, as I have to take over the kitchen table to set up camp, so the fit is a little big. But she will grow into, and at the rate she is going it could be within the month. I have two more cut waiting for a chance for me to finish them up, so I will be sure to adjust the elastic in the back for a better fit.
I love all the little details with these patterns and the options. I could sew 10 of these up (and if I could find the time I would) and they would all be a little different. Be sure to check out Little Lizard King if you are in need of an adorable pattern.
