I found a pattern by Thomasina Cummings, "Little Kisses Pinafore Dress" from Inside Crochet magazine May issue 41 into this dress. I decided to embark on the challenge. I chose the yarn DMC Petra (again!) simply because of its lovely colour as always. However, the yarn is too thin. I couldn't re-create the kisses effect that Thomasina did in her lovely pattern. Hence, I adapted. I crochet the bodice according to pattern and at the bottom of the bodice I crochet shell to create a bit of lace
effect. My mom in-law helped sew the fabric to the bodice. The end result is a product of fabric and yarn.... CroFabulous!

I used fabric buttons here. |
I added matching fabric buttons to this dress. I loved using these buttons. It gives a personal touch to the dress.
It was really a fun project to do even though I started out to
do something else. Isn't life the same. You begin your career as a lawyer and ended being a baker. You were a brilliant student in chemistry and biology, and you have a masters degree to proof it. Yet, you're happy being a stay at home mom. To me, what's important is charting your own journey. The end result is much satisfying that way.
