Black and White Brought Me Back
.jpg)
Because my parents are the greatest grandparents in the world, they have taken my three children to Maine with them for four days so I can lesson plan and prepare for my new teaching gig. Because I am the world's worst procrastinator, I am posting here on the blog. Don't be frightened by the dust and cobwebs- I know it's been awhile since I've written here. The summer has been an embarrassment of riches- hiking, biking, swimming, job interviewing, reading, and refereeing fights between the kids. Earlier today I did begin to focus on the curriculum for my junior English class which has a unit on modernism and postmodernism and I had an Alleluia moment. For years I have wanted to find a way to bring David Macaulay's picture book Black and White into the classroom. It is nonlinear, challenging, full of puns, and perfect for postmodernism. So now I will take my leave of this blog to go back to lesson planning, but not until I advise you to check out Macaulay's brilliant postmodern picture book. Read it with a kid you like. It will give you plenty to discuss!

Miss Cindy's Baby Doll Part 3
Yippee! The dress is finished and I will be able to deliver it to Cindy tomorrow! Life got in the way of this little project. I had a baby shower to go to that required a handmade gift and school started for me last Monday. There were lots of meetings and the classroom to arrange and organize. I didn't stitch anything when I got home! Too tired!
I had to adjust the vintage pattern bodice pieces to fit this doll and I made the dress a little longer than her original dress. (See here.) I changed the shape of the sleeves to accomodate smocking. I wanted to eliminate elastic from this outfit and the smocking pleats and stitches provide the ruffled gathers perfectly without elastic. I really liked the embroidered panel that goes down the center front of the original dress with ribbon waist ties beneath the panel so I duplicated that look with embroidered ribbon.
The dress is made of fine cotton batiste and French cotton lace. I love working with such nice materials. Everything came from my stash, even the little antique mother of pearl buttons, the ribbon, and the entredeux (veining at the neckline).
The dress is open down the back and closes with two little buttons. I just realized when looking at the photo of the dress back that I hadn't adjusted the skirt pieces with the right side overlapping the left. You'll just have to believe me when I tell you that it really does overlap properly. (It is too hot to go outside to take more photographs!)
"Baby" looks pretty in her new dress and pan*ties (see last post), doesn't she? Ten (or even 50) years from now her outfit will still fit her arms and legs. With minimal care the materials in the dress should last a very long time. Perhaps Cindy's future granddaughters will play with her!
PS: Rett asked what type of floss I used in the smocking. I used three strands of DMC cotton floss.
