Tree Fleur

Did you know that September is National Sewing Month? Did you also know I had to bribe this kid with candy to take this picture? You do what you have to do, right? And she looks so pretty!
She LOVES this dress. As soon as Piper put it on, her face lit up with delight because it twirls and it is long! I used the Flutter Sleeve pattern from this great shop on Etsy called FooFooThreads (Click HERE to check it out) I have used the pattern several times. I tweaked this one a little by adding a longer ruffle at the bottom and more ruffle on the bodice. The Fabric: Frances Newcombe, Cherie, Tree Fleur in Sombre

The perfect fall dress

I just made this dress for a beautiful little girl. Her mom picked out the fabric. She was looking for something Fall and I think she nailed it! It turned out so pretty!
A sweet lady in our church, who can no longer sew, gifted me all her sewing notions. I have a nice box of buttons that I pull from when I can. I think these buttons pull it all together!
The fabric: Makower UK Forest Friends and Amy Butler Lotus Wall Flower in Cherry.
