KCW Day 7

So the final day is here and I managed to squeeze out one more dress for Imogen. Yay!  This time I used this tutorial over at Schwin & Schwin.  it is a pretty simple dress pattern so all I had to do was make it a little smaller to fit my little monkey.  I started with my larger squares being 15"x14" and my sleeve rectangles being 10"x6.5".  I used 3 strips of shirring on the neck and 4 strips on the waist.

The great thing about this pattern is that it will fit for a while given the elastic.  For the minute it is a tunic but as she grows it will become a top.  I am pretty happy with how much I have managed to get done this week.  Everything has been made out of stash material so has basically been free.  I still have 2 items that I planned to make that didn't get done but I am hoping to still make them.  First though I need to make something for myself to wear to a wedding in Me Made May.

      I do have a plan! I'm going to recreate a red lace dress I saw online. I have the material and everything I just need to get started.
