My attempt at Project Run and Play

The task was to remix The June Bug Dress. 

Here's the link to the flikr group to see the other great creations.

Well… My first attempt was a disaster.  The seam from the skirt and the bodice was way too crooked.  Lesson number 1: make sure to properly cut out a pattern.  This was my first time at making a pattern from scratch and I’ve learned a lot.  I’m very happy with the final product, just not happy with it on her.  The fit is off.  It is my goal to remake it, again.

Seeing how my daughter is 8 and sassy, and loves the crazy clothes at Justice, I wanted to make something “fashion forward” for her.  I did not want the bib look, so I made the “bib” part out of a matte fabric to help show the contract and give the look of a bib.  The buttons add a nice detail, I think.  I love ruffles.  With my new serger, I could make ruffles all day long!  I’m sure we will be seeing a lot of ruffles in the near future. 

Yes, my Christmas tree is still up.

                      

Say hello to our dog Buster.  He's getting old, its in his eyes.

Here's where I use the ruffle as a collar

Mom, leave me alone so I can play on my iPad.

This is what I normally look like before we play dress up.
