It Was A Dress-Making Kind Of Day...

I made a couple more dresses for our Dress A Girl Around The World project yesterday. This one in soft lavender with tiny purple, aqua and pink flowers

Then, I added a little flower-shaped pocket with a turned down edge. Now, there's a place for treasures or a little dolly.

The second one I made was in rubber ducky fabric. Each little duck has an umbrella, so I drew my own umbrella applique' in purple fabric (that matches the binding and straps), and pink fabric. There's also a satin stitched "handle"  that goes right in to the pocket. That makes four finished dresses for me - so far.

Our mailman, Curt delivered a box from Marcy R., too. Ten more dresses to go with the rest. You won't even be able to handle how adorable her dresses are. Handsome and I giggled each time I held up another one to show him!

 

Marcy said she's going to continue making dresses for our (first) deadline on August 15th. I say "first" because I  we may very well decide to turn Brynwood Needleworks into a satellite for Dress A Girl. If so, we'll probably have four project dates in a twelve month period. I'm still thinking on that.

Thanks again, Marcy for your gorgeous, girly dresses! I just know that there are going to be some very happy little girls when they see these! 

By the way...So far, I have twenty three dresses in hand, with more being created all over the country by other talented people. We're going to do a photo shoot over the weekend of this first batch of twenty three, so you can see just how wonderful they are. I'll share the pictures with you next week.

Happy Saturday! Make it a great one.
