The Lucy Dress

Lately I've been attempting to develop my sewing skills. I don't naturally come by the precision that is required of many sewing projects, but I am getting my feet wet with simple projects. I recently finished a project for my four-year-old (soon to be five-year-old) niece, Grace. I won't post a picture of it because my sister reads this blog and the present is almost as much for her as it is for her daughter!

I did finish a little dress for Lucy today, though. The great thing about it is that the adjustable nature of the neckline will ensure that Lucy can wear it for a few years... eventually it will become more of a tunic top that she can wear with pants or leggings. Here's a couple pics of her wearing it.

If she doesn't look like her normal happy self in the pictures, it because today she isn't. She got some of her immunizations today and hasn't been a happy camper since. I'm not sure who cried more over it: me or her. Hopefully the TLC (and baby tylenol!) I'm giving her today will make a difference. Anyways, here's the dress:
