Crochet Frock, Sling Bag, Hair clips

 Hi all

Happy New Year to all.  

Last year was a productive year on the crafty side.  Made a lot of things, Started my you tube channel, learned so many new things and started selling my handmade items through insta.  After starting that page I have got my first custom order to make a crochet frock for a 3 year old for her birthday.  I am so happy on receiving that order.  The customer chose a design from the photographs I send and the tricky part is I have to make the frock according to the measurements send by them.  That was not in my comfort zone.  But I don't want to leave that order.  So took courage and said a yes to them and I have to finish it within 15 days.  

Placed the order for the yarn and it took 9 days to arrive.  I started crocheting the frock when there is 6 days left.  Managed to shape the neck according to the measurements.  And the frock started to grow and this was the final result.  I have completed the frock within 3 days.

They have asked me a matching bag and hair clips.  So I made a small sling bag that goes with the bag and a matching hair clip with a simple flower.

This is the birthday girl wearing the frock.

Pattern for the frock is from here. 

Yarn is from Pradhan Embroidery Stores.

I have used 3.5mm crochet hook.

Now I am more confident in crocheting frocks and this year I have planned to design crochet frocks and skirts.  More than crocheting, designing takes time.  If we have the pattern in hand we can crochet anything in a jiffy.  So that's all for today.  Tomorrow I will come up with a simple embroidery border.  Till then have a nice day and happy crocheting
