Here, I'll show you:
Given that combined with the fact that her hair isn't coming in very rapidly, I figure she will still be pretty eartastic come this Halloween. One of my motivators for learning to sew is that I really want to make my kids' costumes. My mom always made ours, so that's just something I want to do for them. All of these factors combine to inspire me to dress her up as a little fairy/sprite/pixie (choose whichever moniker you like best) for Halloween. I started poking around on the web & found this:
Fairy Costume
Now I will be doing more of a Spring color scheme, because as you can see, little Miss Julia is not an Autumn, but that's the basic idea. I have the slip and a good handful of the flowers (thanks, Kathy for going with me to buy a bunch of them.) I also have the glue gun all ready to go. Now I just have to hope that the slip I bought will still be big enough in 5 months. Hrm, I think I should try it on her when I get home today...

her ears are so awesome. Does she have tiny feet for her size, too? totally an elf.
Also did the slip fit? And when do you get to start gluing on flowers?
Aww, you're right, her ears are totally awesome! :)
And HI! thanks for inviting me :)
Heehee. No, she has big feet like her Daddy. The slip did indeed fit, or rather was quite big on her, which was the desired effect since Halloween isn't for 5 months & the way she eats, she's sure to grow quite a bit between now & then.
I get to start gluing on flowers as soon as I figure out some little mechanism to hang it up & provide some resistance while I glue. I don't have a baby sized dressmaker's dummy (or a dressmaker's dummy at all for that matter) but that is the general idea. I'm thinking maybe an empty detergent bottle might do the trick...I just don't want to lay it flat while I work on it. I think it will work better if I can stand it up to put the flowers on.
