Can you say purple??

Can you say Purple?
I've been having a lot of fun sewing for my first grand-daughter. Little girl DRESSES are so dang CUTE!
And the best part
is that it doesn't have to be a perfect fit. Those little blessings just don't seem to care if the dress is slightly big or doesn't quite fit around the shoulders, or if the dress is a little too long!~ They are not particular [yet].

This dress was created without a pattern.
I love being able to sew without a pattern. Its a little more like scrapbooking. You have to "figure" out the style, the placement of the parts, and the accessories!
Here is how I made the flowers at the neckline.

Simply stitch the tip of the folded flower onto your neckline. I used a very small zigzag stitch for just a couple of loops. You of course could hand sew them (me...NOT- I really think I despise the handsewing part.)

This is the bottom view of the flowers. When you barely stitch them
they can "blossom open" and create a cute ruffle.

Here is the back and how I attached the straps.
The extra length of the strap tied into a cute little bow.

Then I made a headband (all little girls need a headband!)

and last but not least... the little bloomers.
Should I add a ruffle? Contrasting material? white? What do you think?

Next picture I'll try to post Acey in the dress!
And now I'm off to try to sew some "boy" things!
