Crochet Clothing

I'm trying my hand at two different crocheted clothing projects right now.  One for my sweet little Leelu, a fun summer tank top with delicious colors and a flirty design.  The other for myself, an airy summer dress that will double for me as a bathing suit cover-up. 

I'm using Sugar'n Cream 100% cotton yarn for Leelu's top.

Red Heart Soft 100% acrylic for my dress.

Here is the tank top I've made for Leelu.

I ended up making the straps way too long but she will be able to wear it next summer no problem.  So I'll tuck it away until then.   

And here is the dress I'm still working on for myself.  You can find the pattern and info HERE.

I'm intent on not screwing up the straps on this one so I'm taking my time on getting them added (aka I'm terrified of messing it up and so I'm putting it off until I have a day where I am not afraid to keep going).   When I finish it I will post another picture of me wearing it!

Ta-da! I'm finished with it, wearing it and feeling quite proud of myself.
