After a number of mistakes and do overs, I finally finished another ensemble. I probably need to make one more thing to go with this one. I think I need to make a shirt to go with the pants. The jacket can go with the dress or the pants, but if worn with the pants, it still needs a shirt. That will come later. I was a little upset with this pattern because it doesn't seem to run to indicated size too well. It is the pattern I used for the six month cow girl outfit that turned out to be for a three month size. This one is supposed to be an eighteen month, but is easily a size two, if not larger. However, the real problem with this pattern turned out to be the jacket. It seemed so straight forward that I didn't feel I needed to keep referring to the guide. Big mistake! I had to keep taking things apart and doing them over yesterday. It was a day for that. Even with my knitting, I had the same problem. I just kept messing up and had to keep taking out and doing over. Today was much better, and I accomplished much more. Lexi has been such an angel to let me do a lot of machine sewing while Joey is sleeping. She is such a good baby and plays by herself so well. Another big problem I had with this pattern were the ruffles. None of the pieces seemed to be long enough to give enough of a ruffle effect. It might be that I used knit material and it stretches too much to give the right effect. Anyway, they will have to do because I am not taking them apart again for anything. I'm finished with these articles of clothing.,

| I really like the dress, except that it much larger than I had planned. |
 |
| The jacket makes a nice compliment to the dress. |
 |
| The jacket is pretty, but I hope the sleeves aren't too long. They seem to be, but maybe it is because the jacket is supposed to be short and they just appear to be long. |
 |
| Definitely need a shirt to go with these pants. |
 |
| Perhaps a dark pink shirt will complete this ensemble. I have just the right material for it. |
