I knew since way early in the week that we had a birthday party to go to today. I was pretty low key, mainly cupcakes for the kids. I'm not sure why I put off making a sweet dress for the birthday girl, but I did and we were fashionably late by a mere 30ish minutes.
Here are the fabrics I chose. I have a HUGE stash of remnant's from Jo-Ann Fabrics and so I went fishing in my 'pool of fabric'. I don't litterally have a pool, but I do have a a lot of remnants.
I did though learn that if I set my mind to I can make a certain pattern from ironing and cutting the fabric to putting the last stitch in the hem in just under 2 hours. I may have gotten a few speeding tickets along the way with sewing so fast, but it turned out great and the birthday girl put it on as soon as she opened it and last I heard she still would not take it off. I think she likes it.
I just love sewing sweet little dresses.
And for anyone interested, this pattern is McCalls #3918
