I am trying to post as much as possible this April to get myself back into the habit. I have been through a sewing slump lately. It makes me sad to look at beautiful fabric and know I have no plans for it. If only that would keep me from buying it. So, I am jumping back into sewing and crafting.
I haven't made a kid's garment in forever, which is odd because that is all I used to make. I wanted to do a shirred dress because they are simple, sweet, and fast. If you haven't ever used shirring before, please check out Sandi Henderson's tutorial. I know it looks kinda scary at first, but the results are well worth it. Once you do something once, it's always easier the second time around.
Jennifer Paganelli's new Flower Power line is to die for. So sweet and romantic. This little dress has halter ties. Maybe K can wear it to church tomorrow, so I can get some modeling pics.
That's it for today. I have all day ball and a birthday party to get ready for. Maybe Brice can take me on a date afterwards. I'll need it. Have a great day ya'll!
wow I love the shirring!!! Stupendous little dress!! :)

I really need to try shirring - I have a doll's dress kit to make, and I'm too scared to try it because it calls for shirring, so thank you for the link to the tute...hopefully I can conquer my fear!
That dress is way cool, I wish I was a kid again.
