Alice will be 18 months old at the April General Conference/Bicentennial extravaganza (which is what is being called in my head), and I'm going to start with her clothing first because it is little and simple and cute!
I still need to research layers for children, but in the meantime, I've fallen in love with a really simple style of dress that is one long, shaped panel for the front and a gathered back with back bodice closed with drawstrings. Like this one (C.I.X.52.1.2):
The best part about this little dress is hat you can tell the shapes of the pattern pieces because of the stripes!! There are a couple other examples of the same style of dress at the MET (with flat front panel and gathered back panel), such as:
Its such a simple and sweet design.
I do need to learn how to do piped seams. And I need to draft little puffed sleeves. But other than that, this should be relatively easy (famous last words?).

| 1978.477.11 -- I love the ruffle around the neckline |

Its such a simple and sweet design.
