Off the Clock

  One of the great things about having granddaughters is that you have someone to sew for.  I bought scads of pink and blue fabric with blocks and numbers when the oldest was born.  I had a pattern but somehow managed to buy way too much of the fabric.  I made an infant sundress and a couple of shirred dresses  and some doll clothes but STILL had quite a bit left over, and since it wasn't cheap I was thinking that as these girls grow this is my last chance to use it before they have completely outgrown the theme of the print.  Well I think it is finally safe to say I have used up every scrap of that fabric. I used Lutterloh pattern 239 from supplement 305.  I had just enough fabric to make three little dresses if I left off the sleeves.  I was ok with that as I saw this as a little summer dress.  Because the girls don't live near me I had to go on faith and a few measurements.  The dresses turned out a tiny bit on the big side but as we are only in May and they will grow over
