You all remember this post where I said my DD picked the lovely fabric for my outfit.......... You didn't think she didn't buy any for herself right?...lol... she actually got this lovely matte jersey as well and it was just barely 1m left..... Yesterday, I made her a mid-knee dress using Burda 9627
Nothing much to this pattern , just an easy, simple one.
Here are what I did
(1)I cut size 7
(2) I used a single fold bias tape for the neck
(3) Used 0.5"steam-a-seam to bond the sleeve and the dress hem and
(4) Used coverstitch to finish the hem(s).....
Some pictures of the model showing off her new dress...She loves it so much.... she actually wore it to bed yesterday..
Now, I gotta do some sewing for myself having...... fulfilled all righteousness....lol
Enjoy

My big boy turned 8 yesterday..............Yeah, I find it very difficult to believe, they grow up so fast............
Have you ever had one of those last minute request?......He came to me on Thursday morning and said, mom I would like you to make me a bath robe for my birthday.... and I asked... tomorrow's birthday or next year's birthday? .....so that was the end of our Thursday morning discussion before school and work............
After work, I branched off at Fabricland , looked through, but couldn't find any green flannel fabric... (Green being his fav. color). So went to Wal-Mart as usual and found this lovely soft flannel...... ..... Here is what I made after he went to bed ... I used simplicity 3575, and it took me about 3 hours from start to finish.....
It was a big surprise for him when he woke up in the morning with his gifts all wrapped up beside his bed..... So glad I was able to do this..... you should have seen the look on his face.......and I got one of those hugs and the ..." You are the best mom in the world" thing...lol.
Here is the birthday boy showing off his new bathrobe...
You all have a lovely weekend
Enjoy........
