oliver+s icecream dress love
I’m so very in love with the latest Oliver + S spring pattern for the ice cream dress. The name was inspired by the color block version which apparently reminded the designer of neapolitan ice cream. I was so excited to find it in the mailbox the other day and can’t wait to whip one up for teeny R or the next precious baby girl love that comes into my life. The examples above are from the oliver+s blog and I love how different they are, the pattern can look so casual and perfect for grass rolling/dirt digging/tree hanging and then also look equally amazing as a dressy number when made in silk. fun indeed. anyways, i’ve been sewing much more lately since my wrist and knitting have not been getting along and I have to say it is pretty satisfying. things come together much more quickly sewing than knitting which is fun for a change. Over the last few weeks I made two sets of baby bloomers and elastic smocked toddler dresses for R and a friend at work’s little girl. The patterns are from Heather Ross’ Weekend Sewing. back soon with more news about the daily stuff. the abbreviated version is working lots, trying to get into the swing of working out again, lots of time at the park with R and O, Mom home from Libya and praying for summer to come sooner. love love AB
