Ruffle-o-rama

This was so fun to create.
My daughter Eliana loves all things girly, pretty and ruffle-y. So how could I resist sewing up the new dress pattern from Ottobre 4-2007.

My friend Cheryl was here and she so kindly traced all the pattern pieces for me:) Thanks Cheryl.
I used some of my favorite fabrics from my stash. Some Robyn Pandolph (did you know she's a home-schooling Mom?) Hanna Bella collection. The ruffle is some vintage eyelet trim, I picked up at our local sewing thrift store.

Tons of pictures, you know the **She's so cute I can't pick just one" idea....




























I'm not sure what she's doing but it shows the dress well






















ahh a praying picture














yes, there's more..told ya I couldn't choose























okay a posed cute one






















alright last one..one of the back. I just love invisible zippers

Before I spend the next few days cutting fabric..

I wanted to post my first sewing project since April!!!!

It felt REALLY good to sew again. I had forgotten how much I love it
