Of course Emma also needed a special dress for the birthday party. Lucky for her I had started a new bishop dress before she moved here! :)
I seem to be having a love affair with turquoise gingham these days. Emma has two dresses out of the same fabric right now. A little weird, but it is a good color on her.
The smocking design is "Babies Ahoy" by Kathy Crisp Designs. I love how the bright pink flamingos show up on the fabric. A great design when you want a little smocking.
Bright pink rickrack brought the pink color down to the sleeves. * A little sewing tip: I picked out the rickrack first then matched the floss color for the flamingos. Think of it this way, there are only a few shades of pink rickrack on the market while there are many shades of pink floss.

Hi Michie!
I love that first picture of the kids! So cute!
Thanks for sharing with us in this blog. I look forward to seeing you in July.

I am going to make this bishop!! Love that turquoise check.
Can you do a tutorial on successful pleating? I am afraid I am going to lose my religion on this one. I can do straight pleating, but the bishops are killing me. I have wasted sooooo much fabric with pleating failures.
thanks!
Beautiful! I love gingham bishops, and I love flamingoes. This little dress is just perfect!
