♥My Lil' Monkey Girl♥ Donating Member | LOOK Ive Never Done This!!! Okay so tonight i had nothing to do.... a day off from work, school and ice skating.... so i figured i would try and sew. So i took a pattern off line and tried to do a simple one. I made two dresses and wanted to see what you all think. I want to try and make another one later with more colors, embellishments something.... so it doesnt look so plain! Anyways, the first dress is a navy blue material the second dress is a shimmery minty color. So let me know what you all think!!!! Reminder: I have NEVER sewn before. This was my first and second attempt!!!

♥My Lil' Monkey Girl♥ Donating Member | Not at all i went to the following CRAFTS : Puppy Party Dress : DIY Network There is a pdf file for the bodice and skirt. You have to size it for the size you need. I didnt have anything to add to it like they had on the site or anything i could add as i only had scrap material that i tried out on. I think i am going to get some material and things for embellishments to make another dress with more detail!

| Good Job... Think of all the $$ you'll save buying them. I think that they are adorable !! Keep up the good work. I think that you are very brave...I put sequins on my daughters Baton Costumes to save $$ and am almost out of my mind when I finish. I went to Target to get Baron and Sammy a bunch of shirts. one of the other moms on YT mentioned it the other night. They had dresses,shirts both tank and with sleeves, toys,leashes,collars,harnesses and bowls. All for $1.00 a piece so I stocked up. The only thing they did'nt have were pj's which her Target did have. My 2 dogs are always cold... Thought I'd Congratulate you... Baron's Mommy

| First time??? Seeing this stuff makes me sorry I gave away my NIB sewing machine!!! I'm not a seamstress by any means (which is why I gave mine to my mom), but I think this stuff is very impressive! |
