This little gal turned 7 on Tuesday. Not only is she one of my favorite neighbors, but she's my niece.
This was the look on her face when I showed her...
THIS!!
I used McCall's pattern 6020 for the bodice and sleeves. The brown satin I had on hand from a killer dealer at the fabric store.
It was my first time sewing a lace overlay. Not too shabby huh? I learned SOOO much doing this.
I love the side gathered sleeves and the flower was my own addition. You can't see it, but I also did a crinoline. First time actually sewing with tulle. I had only ever done the no-sew tutus before. It wasn't too bad, but the crinoline should have been more gathered. Oh well. next time maybe.
