... I can't believe its been more than a month since I last posted... wwwwwell... I CAANNN.... I just rather pretend that I can't....
...and added these buttons to tie in the pink from the lining....
Happy Holidays!!
The last few weeks have been... well.... they've just been.... and I've just tried my best to simply stay afloat.
Needless to say, I haven't been doing that much sewing these last few weeks. But, I did manage to pull out of my winter doldrums to make this little dress for my niece for Christmas...
It turn out to be a score, since I used some fabric that I bought several months ago, but never could find a use for... too expensive to use as a wearable muslin/not enough yardage to make anything my size.... Anyway, I think it came out nice and it was basically cost free during this financial crunch time.

Anyway, I think it came out nice and it was basically cost free during this financial crunch time.I did take the chance to do some new things that I hadn't done before on a quick and small scale... like these flat felt seams....
... and this double stitched ribbon trim I used on the hem.
I also used a contrast color lining for this patch pocket...
...and added these buttons to tie in the pink from the lining.... *note to self.... and others... if you even THINK you may want to add a pocket to an item, try to THINK of it BEFORE you sew it up............. just a thought...
Happy Holidays!!
Holla!!!
