I did it!

I did it and I'm proud of myself! I made a dress! I don't sew clothing. Never have  but I decided to take the plunge and try it. This dress is for my 18 month old niece for Easter. I used Simplicity pattern 2668 and decided on dress C only I did this one without the bow and trim at the bottom.

I tried to do the bow but for some reason it just wasn't turning out like I wanted and it was crunch time. So I opted to chuck it. I also had a TON of help via twitter from Mindy of Minash Designs. Thank you so much Mindy for all your help. If I hadn't of gotten help on this I may have given up. She kept me right on track and put up with my endless pictures and questions.


My sister in law will be taking some uber cute pictures of Little Miss O in her pretty dress this week some time. Once she gets over the annoying morning sickness. Ugh! I feel for her . . . Seriously I do!


Hope you all had a fabulous Easter with your families!
