I've been meaning to post about this for like, two months now! Two months today exactly, to be precise. I mentioned here about my plans to make a dress for my niece for her 3rd Birthday. The idea was inspired by GGC, which if you know me at all, you know is my favorite blog on the planet.
Let me first just say, sewing is both easier and harder than I anticipated it to be when I requested a sewing machine last Christmas. This dress being one of the harder projects I've worked on, I could seriously never see it again and be perfectly fine with that.
(*Disclaimer: I'm not actually working on the dress in this picture, but I look intense, no?)
^Not gathered..^
^Gathered!^ ...yay!
The finished product.
As soon as my niece took the dress out of the bag, she started taking off her clothes and trying to put the dress on! I'll mark this one down as a home-run.
I seriously can't believe how perfect it fits her! Hopefully she will be able to wear it next summer as well. She gets taller everyday, so even if she has to wear it with leggings or shorts next summer, I will be happy.
What do you think the chances of her being taller than me are?
So in the end, even though it was a little bit harder to make the dress than I anticipated.. I'm totally making another one as soon as I get a chance! I even have fabric picked out already..
