name hunting….
Sorry for the extended absence, we went to SF last weekend, and I still haven’t figured out how to email pics in… but I have lots! Starting with these: The night before we left, I whipped this one up, and it looks SO cute on her! It’s the same idea as this shirt, which was itself based on this dress, but longer, obvi. anyway, I’m working on the pattern now… and I need a name. suggestions?
