You know I have a love affair with Art Gallery knits so I jumped at the chance to sew with Sharon Hollands new Bountiful line. The teal print is perfect for me and I was happy to finally try the Colette Myrtle dress pattern. I am pleased with the fit on the first try of the pattern.
I made the size medium and the only change I will make on the next one will be to cut the elastic for the waist a little shorter. The dress and fabric are very soft and comfortable to wear. This is my new favorite dress! I know there will be more versions of this in the future. I'll be watching for some more Art Gallery knits that are my style!
I also made a Flashback Skinny Tee for miss P. This pattern by Made by Rae has been a favorite for years, we went up a size for this shirt and still are not to the largest size in the pattern. Miss P searched the web for a headband tutorial and use THIS ONE to make herself a matching headband.
Shortly after we finished the shirt, my DIL visited and saw the leftover fabric. She whipped out a pair of Baby Got Back pants for my grandson.
Miss P designed and made the bow tie for him one morning before anyone else in the house was up. These knits are great for wiggly babies!
You can visit Sharon's blog to find a beautiful & inspiring recap of each week of the blog tour here. Yesterday, Maureen Cracknell of Maureen Cracknell Handmade shared a beautiful bag made from the woven prints in the collection, and tomorrow you won't want to miss Anjeanette's Bountiful project at her blog anjeanettek.
