My new summer dress
yep I made this
I drafted the pattern I sewed it
Can you tell I am proud of my self?
lol
This cute fabric has a great beach border and a cute blue fabric the blue fabric has a cornucopia of sells and star fish on it.
My daughter picked this fabulous fabric out. I came up with the design and sewed it.
this dress is a size 7-9 girls dress it hits a little below the knee on most girls.
26+ inch top (elastic in the top)
27 inch long from top to bottom.
the skirt is full and playful.
That is my very nice neighbor Andrea's daughter she was a very willing model. She looked so cute!
What do you think?
his was a fairly easy thing to draft too
I used the arm wholes from another pattern and I just used 2 yards of fabric for the very very full skirt. I used my ruffler foot to gather the 2 yards of fabric.
I did a little gather in the middle of the front fabric. I used a gather stitch for this not my ruffler foot.
Made a stay of about the size I wanted the final to be and sewed it to the front turned right side out and there ya go the front is done.
the back I just used a but of elastic.
(I only bought 2 yards I have to go but more now to make one of these for my daughter.)

Why buy handmade?
Reasons to buy handmade
From EtsyWiki
- You are purchasing higher quality products, made with love and care by the artisan.
- You are purchasing unique items that are not mass-produced. Even if the same product may be made a thousand times each will be unique in some tiny way.
- Buying handmade supports artists, crafters, designers and small business owners instead of large corporations - if you buy handmade you help someone live their dream.
- When you buy handmade art objects you are also getting a piece of the artist’s soul. Those who value handmade are usually eager to know about the artist that made their piece and they value the skill and passion that went into its creation. Handmade pieces have life, unlike items that are mass-produced by machines and basically untouched by human hands during the creation process.
- You are helping to promote local economies and fair trade. Investment in the creative sector brings a huge boost to the economic, cultural and social vitality of communities.
- Handmade products are increasingly being made with recycled materials. This is excellent for the environment.
- You as the buyer vote with your purchase. This offers immediate feedback to the artisan and allows them to gauge which items to further develop. This feedback loop is vital to the handmade indiepreneur.
- Handmade items appeal to trend setters, not trend followers.
- Handmade items can push boundaries - they aren't in thrall to the dictates of the mass market.
- Handmade items can often be custom-made, fit, and colored, to the buyer's specifics or wishes making it even more unique and, often, practical.

it took a while for me to finish it. I hurt my back at work yesterday so I coudlnt sew long.
This one has NONE of the other bags issues I used almost all the same stuff as the other bag only I ran out of d rings so I didnt do that I also didnt have any more of those magnetic snaps so I used a regular snap.
(better for your cell phone anyway)
other side

Description This bag is made with a great stretch black and white tropical printed fabric.
The black on the bottom is a pocket.
2 pockets on the inside one for your pens, and one for anything else.
this wonderful bag also fetures a reinforced handle made with the purse fabric and a heavy weight nylon purse strap used for luggage. it has a snap closer.
it is lined with a black and white polka dot polyester fabric.
