Description

Hola friends,

I have 2 more weeks to the craft fair and still need to sew more than 5 clothing. I didn’t know how hard it is to prepare for a craft show. I haven’t had any day off this month from sewing. At least, I am enjoying this, so it’s good.

Today, I finished this Cotton Candy Dress. I named it just because it’s so sweet;)
As you probably noticed, it’s the same design as Dress for a big girl. Minor alternation is the shape of collar and belts instead of buttons.
I made necklace and earrings by shell beads as well.

I actually don’t purchase expensive fabrics so much, but this one was little pricey. There is sometime you can’t control yourself, and I was there…

    Wow this is so beautiful and fits awesomely! What pattern did you use? Or did you draft it to your measurements?

      Thanks, I used Simplicity 6670. But the size mentioned is little bigger, so you can make the allowance to 1" instead. Well, that what I did.

      Thank you! I used basic dress pattern from Simplicity 6670. Neckline and collar were modified by me.

      Hello, thank you!!
      Well, I usually make 3 to 4 clothing per week. I have time to sleep, but no time to play and go out! Still it’s my choice though;)
