I finished Violet's "Heidi Dress". (You can always click on any of my images to see a larger version.)
It's pretty close to what I was envisioning, which is always nice. Sometimes projects meet your expectations, and sometimes you throw them into the 'donate box'.
She said, "I no like it. I don't. I don't like it...take it off." *sigh*
She never stays unhappy for long, though. I ignored the 'don't like it' comments for two minutes, and she was back to happy.
It's a little too large-see the shoulder slippage? That's all right, though. The last time I spent a long time sewing something, it was too small--argh! I'd much rather have made something too big.
It's nice and roomy.
She's taking a bow. In case you wondered.
I like being able to turn the fabric to the other side to get a different look. It harmonizes well, and is still in the same color family.
One nice thing about sewing little bitty clothes is that you can use up your smallest scraps of pretty trims. So....I'm pleased with it. It's not perfect, but my sewing skills are improving. I'm trying not to be such a perfectionist. Better is good, yes?
