I have been busy . . .

The holidays are over and the New Year is in full swing!!
It is definitely time to blog again here at Sew Much Good.
I have been busy smocking for some special people and here's the proof.

This is Mallory and she turned 8 today! 
Mallory is my nephew's daughter. That makes me her GREAT aunt.
She came by for her dress on Saturday and she looked like a Princess just trying it on.
We all LOVED the pink smocking with pearls, the pink cummerbund and pink sash.


It was just the right touch of COLOR.
Wait 'til she has a big 'poof' slip on so she can TWIRL!

LOVE THAT SMILE!
Happy Birthday, Mallory!!!

This next dress is a work in progress but I'd thought I give you preview.
The inspiration was from Gail Doan's Cute as a Button book. I was just smitten with look of the little buttons on the Bishop's yoke smocking.


This dress is for 2 year old Hannah, my youngest granddaughter.



Come back and see Hannah model the dress with the corduroy swing-jacket. Here she is in her Easter dress.

See why I love to Smock!?!
