| Another new dress This one took me no time at all, which was surprising considering how I've been assembling them. I hate bulky seams, so all my seams inside are finished and concealed. The second picture shows how I've been doing them. A little more time consuming than just wacking it together, but I think it's worth the time. The top is a tangerine lycra and the bottom is a striped cotton. It's a 4 way strethc fabric, so it slips over the head easily. I ended up making 2 because the first one I cut wrong and it's a small instead of an XS. What a shame. At 1 1/2 y/o, I don't see her growing any more than she is right now. I'm debating adding more korker bows to the main bow to make it pop out a little more and she definitely needs a barrette to go with this one! |

| Wow! You made another one already? You are good at this! Are you using a pattern? If so, where did you buy it? I wish that I had your talent, but I'm thinking maybe I can bribe my Mom into making some dresses for Missy.

| No. I don't use commercial patterns. All the ones I've seen don't come out right. I just kinda wing it and make my own according to measurements. After 18 years of sewing, you just kinda know what works and what doesn't. |

LOL more than likely! I'll give it a shot at least. Pm me with what you're looking for and we'll see what we can do. I have a commerical sewing and embroidery business and I'm certain that I have Hello Kitty embroidery designs somewhere. Ill just have to look for them. My sewing room is a mess right now (as you can probably imagine!) | |

I have. Everyone seems to love what I come up with. I've just been using pieces of extra fabric from other projects and jobs that I've done. At the end of this week, I plan to become a donating member so I can offer the extras I make to everyone else. I won't mass produce anything though. So it would be based on what I already have done or what people order from me. | |
