Pattern Testing

Since this summer I was able to act as a pattern tester for Kate at See Kate Sew.  I love testing out patterns.  It's so fun to see what great things people are coming up with. And Kate never disappoints on either the quality or cuteness factors, that's for sure.

The two I tested are the DayDream Ruffle Dress and the Juliet Capelet (sans hood).  You can purchase the patterns for either in her pattern shop.  Abi LOVES them, especially the capelet.  It's been perfect for the dress up bin.



^^ I used a burned out cotton for this dress so I had to fully line it.  It took a lot more time, but it was totally worth it.^^



^^ I used a faux suede to make this little capelet.  It was originally going to be part of Abi's Little Red Riding Hood for Halloween, but I decided at the last minute to make her a full length hooded cape when I found out it would be a little chilly and raining Halloween night.  And please excuse the pic in her pj's.  We were feeling a little under the weather the day I had to take pictures :) ^^
