Dress #2!!

Well, after I finished editing Zoe's pink and purple dress, I wasn't ready to put my machine away. I decided to get out the yellow polo shirt and see what I could do with it. I had originally planned to do a tiered ruffle dress, but that didn't work out so well. I didn't measure my tiers correctly and it looked really weird. So after more seam unpicking, I decided to try something else, and this is what I came up with:



The white fabric is from an IKEA sheet that I found on sale a couple months ago and thought it would be great for things like this. :) After I added the ruffle, I was trying to decide what else to do, and remembered seeing a tutorial for adding a sash. I couldn't find the tutorial, but kind of played around and came up with this. I think it will be ok. The sash is sewn on to the dress so it won't get lost.

And I was really smart on the neckline this time, I just cut off the collar and left the neckline as is! :) I'm so smart, haha.

Well, dinner time, so I'm off. It feels really good to be productive and make cute things like this. Now I need to figure out something to make for Maya. She's feeling a little left out. ;)

Happy sewing!
