Sewing Creation

I had the urge to sew something last week and the thought came into my head that I should make a dress for Katelyn. I haven't sewn a garment since high school, but thought I would give it a go. Went to the fabric store and looked through the patterns and came upon an Very Easy pattern, which I thought was really cute. Looked through the somewhat limited selection of material and settled on this ultra cute, pink paisley cotton. I got to sewing that day for a couple of hours and then next day a couple of hours and then some hand sewing and this is what came out of those hours.

It is a size two and quite big on her. It should be taken in on the sides but after all the work I did, I'd rather just pin it. And it is super long on her, but I think next year it will fit just right. I was so proud of myself for actually figuring out the pattern instructions and getting everything right. It may not be perfect, but I did it to the best of my ability. What more could I ask for? Not bad for $23. Funny how it's more to sew your own than to buy them. I probably wouldn't have paid $23 for a dress like this in the store, just because I'm cheap, but it was fun to make it myself.
