Hi Cuties, I started Nora a new dress last Wednesday. The first photo of her and the yoke part, was all I got done, before I hurt my back. <br /><br />

Finally, started feeling a little better Tuesday afternoon and pleated her skirt. After some Tens treatments yesterday, was able to sit and smock the skirt front and back. I finished it today with the piping and band on bottom, button and buttonholes.<br /><br />
It's in the wash, to get my blue marks out. I will press it and call Ashley to pick it up. Nora was going to wear a pink bishop I made for Lanie 11 years ago (it still looks great), for Easter Sunday, but when Ashley knew I started this one she said she would wear it.<br /><br />
Sorry my pics aren't the best. I still can't upload from my camera card, since I took it out before it okay-ed for me to Remove it safely. These are with my IPhone and not too clear.<br /><br />
Oh, I usually put my size label into the neck seam, but you know how forgetful I am. I had to put it on like this but the collar covers the stitching on back. And speaking of collar, that's the part that Nora says she 'loves'.<br /><br />
Another thing, this is an Especially for You pattern by Lyn Weeks called Frannie, size 6 months to size 4. Nora's is the size 4. (Not to be confused with Childrens Corner's Frannie.) Lyn Weeks's Frannie has been pictured in numerous Sew Beautiful issues, including issue #123. I had a subscription with the magazine for years. If you remember the dedication gown I made Avery was in issue #80, Heavenly Bliss by Petite Poche.<br /><br />
Well, I hope you like it and I need to do more smocking again. I almost forgot how! Have a great day Cuties-Toogie
