A Girl and a Dress ~

My sweet little girl loves it when i make her something. But her obsession lately is dresses. She looks threw my patterns all the time and last week she found a dress that she just HAD to have. I have been wanting to make this dress for her for quite awhile. And now that she has seen it she won't let me forget that she love it and wants one. So last week i sat down one day and cut the pattern out. Let her pick out some fabric she liked...which by the way she made sure that the fabric she picked out was just like the fabric the dress was made with on the pattern. :o) I think she did a great job. I cut the fabric and late Saturday night i put the finishing touches and Voila........... Her new "KNOT" dress. And yes...i do own a iron. Actually a quite awesome iron that i just bought cause the one i had was 11 years old {wedding gift} and just quit one day of old age. BUTTTTT my darling little girl wanted to wear it and sleep in it Sunday and i forgot to take a picture of it when i freshly ironed it for church. Soooooo you get to see it like this. It is still CA-ute! :o) I really liked sewing this dress. It wasn't hard at all and went together pretty smoothly. Instead of buttons you just make the straps longer and pull them threw the button holes and tie in a "knot". LOVE! I have a few more "versions" of this dress that i want to make for her this summer. The great thing about this dress is that it will grow with her. She can wear it for atleast 2 years. The pattern comes with a cute ruffle capri and purse. She REALLY wants that matching purse. :P
