I'm a dressmaker!!

Well .... I made a dress. I used this tutorial.

Fabric is from IKEA. Cost me all of $4 and I have leftovers. Gotta love IKEA!!

Loving the sunshine today.

And my orchids are looking rather splendid too, I think!!

Hope you are enjoying some sunshine too.

Andi :-)

    Isn't she just the height of fashion. Lovely job. Careful........ the little girls dress making thing is just as addictive as quilt making.

    How sweet!!
    I am not a dress maker, (or any other clothes maker for that matter) and have so much admiration for those that can and do. The fabric and dress are as cute as your darling model!

    In my book, that makes you a most official dressmaker! Besides, it looks most especially spiffy.

    Yep - you're a dressmaker, for sure. And yes... you should heed that warning about the addictive nature of making cute little dresses!! (BTW - I have some of the very same Ikea fabric set aside for just such a project).
