Halloween brightens up this mellow, darkening time of the year just perfectly. Lovely warm summer is long gone, and there is still quite a bit until Christmas. So I like to take advantage of Halloween, and make it an event.
This dress I made for my (now seven-month-old) baby girl to celebrate Halloween in:
 |
| Made of cotton jersey, this dress is both soft and stretchy. The skirt has a princess-like front to make crawling easier, so that the hem will not get stuck under her knees. |
 |
| Being true to my style, I kept the back quite simple. Halloween offers so many themes and ideas, that it was more difficult to rule them out than take some few in. |
 |
| The bow is stretchy, so it allows the little belly to move freely. Originally I wanted the ribbon to be see-through and black, but one has to go by what is available. I painted the pumpkin straight onto the fabric with a small brush and some fabric paint. |
 |
| This little critter crawls on the front of left shoulder and... |
 |
| ... it has a friend just behind the shoulder seam. |
Halloween starts Samhain, so we have reason for a double celebration! Happy beginning of winter!
