Yay! Something new to post:) I can't even tell you how long Mia has been asking me to make her a dress out of this mermaid fabric. Last night around 11pm I actually decided to start it. Today I finished the straps and button holes. You can't really tell from the picture, but there are two button holes in the back that I criss crossed the straps through and then tied them into a square knot. I love that the straps are long enough to hang down in the back underneath the knot. Mia looks so darling in these colors-they just scream SUMMER! She loves mermaids and loves to swim, so this was a perfect fabric choice for her. Now I want to buy more of this fabric and use it to make some hoodie towels, burp cloths, and diaper caddies!

Oh that is a beautiful dress! I have this fabric and yes, too pretty to cut! :)
love love love it!
Isn't it gratifying when you make the little one so happy? I remember a horrible (oh, gosh, that word doesn't begin to describe it!) purple Barney print dress that my niece was just enchanted with. I hated every moment of sewing that nasty knit fabric, but she adored it.
Your Michael Miller fabric, on the other hand, is just darling.
