I whipped this up last week, as a gift for a friend.

The pattern is McCall’s 5153, apparently out of print.  Note the “Easy” written in bright red, which you must ignore.  This was one of the most difficult patterns I have ever sewn.  However, the results were worth it:  pretty cute, don’t you think?  This was also the smallest size in the pattern, size newborn, so that probably didn’t help with the difficulty level.

And, don’t you love this pretty house?  One of my favorites…it’s near our house and it always looks so lovely and comfortable.

(it is hard to get a good picture from a moving car.  maybe someday I’ll stop in and meet the owners, and get a better picture…)
