Something Blue...

Friday, Grandma Belva treated me to fabric at Joann's.  Ahhhh....I love new fabric, and I love Grandma!  :)
I chose blue seersucker.  It was so easy to work with.  Here's what I came up with...



For the dress, I just used an old simple pattern and changed it up a bit.








For the trim along the bottom and the leaves under the flower, I used some left over ribbon I bought at Hobby Lobby at 50% off a few months ago.  The actual flower is left over bias tape.  I love using scraps and adding sweet little things.  It really adds character and gives it a finished look.

I worked on this Saturday during her first nap and made a few minor changes during her second one.
When she woke up that morning, I brought the dress in and showed her.  She leaned in and kissed it!!!  I guess she approves!

You rock! Cannot believe that you just whip these out!

I really the color and the butterflies. And I love that you modify it and add your own special touches.

Look at Charlie standing! Her kissing herself in the mirror is adorable. :D
