OMG!!

... 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....

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.

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!!!
