Everyone who sews has scared me off of zippers - they are hard, tricky, etc. Well, I DID IT! I made these Thanksgiving dresses for Natalie and a friend. There is a zipper along the back, with a hook and eye closure at the top. I also had to put a pleat in the sleeve and gather the skirt part. I am learning so many new sewing skills. I picked up 2 books at the library and am zooming along. The next project is the big one - cutting up my friends wedding gown to turn it into a baptism gown for her daughter...we start that one tomorrow. I'm having her over to make the first cut! YIKES.
Here Natalie is posing in her winter coat from Oma. It has some fur lined black boots to match, but we haven't pulled those out yet. She is getting good at doing a cheese face. Her hair has also really started to come in It's gotten longer and looks like it is filling in. It could probably use a trim around the bottom; it's very scraggly from her baby hair but I am not ready for the first haircut yet!!
Other BIG news - her hemangioma on the back of her neck FINALLY seems to be shrinking down and fading a little in the color. Yay!
