So I’ve had it in my head lately to make Elliott a halter dress with an owl applique. I scoured the internet for owl applique patterns, but couldn’t find one that just fit what I had in mind. With little confidence in my drawing skills, I set out to draw my own little owl. I was pleasantly surprised with how he turned out! I don’t use an embroidery machine. I stitch it all either by hand or a machine zigzag, so forgive imperfections, please.
I wanted to include some action shots and since Elliott is anti-posing—or anti-being-still–I had to bribe her with a game of peek-a-boo.
She calls it ‘playing peeky poos!’. And doesn’t she look thrilled?
Boo!
A balloon, however, is not a good idea for getting a toddler to stand still!
But you get the idea. I wonder just how many halter tops and dresses this girl will have by summertime?

I’m going to say this over and over every time you make something until you give in. Make one for Macki PLEASE!!! With a cherry on top 🙂

Thanks!
