I haven’t posted much sewing stuff lately, have I?  The machine was put away for a few weeks and I’ve been feeling rather lazy.  This one just HAD to be completed though.  This little number is for my friend’s 5 year-old daughter.  Her birthday party is Saturday, so I was on the clock for this.  Her mom picked out the fabrics and I drew up a design.  It’s not perfect, but my first tries are rarely perfect.  I’m sure that I would probably be the only one that sees the imperfections, but yet, I would still like my creations to be PERFECT.  I’m anal that way. 🙂

Here is the dress…she loves purple, pink and twirlableness.  I also made a matching handbag, since every girl needs a purse to match her dress.

Here’s a close up of the details:  Satin ribbon, pinwheels and shirred back for a snug fit and comfort.

And I have yet to even start the little blonde one’s bathing suit…that she needs tomorrow.  Eek!
