Manhattan Dress Begins

Okay I started cutting out the Manhattan Special Occasion Dress

for our oldest niece Abby.

40 some pieces cut out and I was almost ready to pull out my hair!
So many pieces!

I found it easy once I thought.....duh!.....
pin the piece # to each piece, with an arrow pointing toward the top of the piece.

Once I did this, the piecing together became much easier.
I now have a bodice sewn together, shell & lining! Yay!

I've seen some vibrant wild dresses using this pattern,
so I am hoping (with fingers crossed) that once I tackle this one,
that I can began to get creative like I have with the Feliz Dresses.

Okay, coffee done.....back to sewing!

Summer Dresses

Summertime & twirlly dresses!

I finished two more Feliz dresses for our nieces Gracie & Allie.

They sure love the ruffles & twirls!

While I sure loved sewing with these bright fabrics,

especially on the cloudy days!

Material Excitement!

I saw this cute bird print and knew that I had to make something for our nieces with it.

Some bright floral & aqua floral stripe and it's perfect!

Now to get started!
