TA DA!!

I'm proud to present the first dress I've ever sewn. It's not perfect, by any means. But I'm just ignoring the flaws, since it's my first piece, and I'm choosing to focus on the fact that it's DONE!! And I did it myself!! Woo hoo!

Ok, enough already. Here it is!

The Front

The Back

Love the polka dot trim!!

Annika modelling her dress - should fit her this summer!
Ignore the jammies underneath!


























































Sooo...what do you think?? I'm pretty excited about sewing. I am really looking forward to my next project! I've been searching for cool sewing blogs and I found a crafty blog that I'm very interested in...you should check out Creating from the Heart to see what Melissa has going on, and check out a great chance to win a cool prize!

Have a good weekend everyone...I'm heading to costco to pick up a few things. I've got lots to do this weekend, but I've got a good headstart so far. Bathrooms are cleaned, laundry's started, bread pudding is next on the list after shopping.

So sweet Penny! Oh my. The length, the way the sides dip nice and low - it looks perfect. Annika will be so comfortable in it.
