Just a little something to throw on...

I got this on Wednesday during a trip to Hobby Lobby...



Isn't that yummy? I've already figured out which of my inks match these colors and stamped a lovely piece of cardstock all ready to be made into a card...

Anyway, I was inspired by my friend over at one-hip-mom to make a pillowcase dress. I found some instructions online but was a bit intimidated by the part about finishing off the armholes with binding tape or making your own binding tape. It sounded really complicated. So Ms. Lisa typed up her instructions and she didn't use a pillowcase...just two panels of fabric! So, on Wednesday after lunch while the kids were still at school I started on a dress. I had a few rough starts (actually had to pull out where I seamed the front and back panel together) and I couldn't work on it yesterday due to Buttercup not napping (and I had a raging migraine). I finished it just a few minutes ago and here's what it looks like...



I think it may be tea length on her right now, but it'll be adorable for a long time (if my wonky seams hold up that long!). I'm greatly impressed with myself and if you look on the sides (but please, not too close, I've got a little pucker on the left side) the polka dots even line up! Now I just have to figure out how she's going to wear it and not untie the bows. I think she'll be wearing this on Sunday with a little long-sleeved onesie underneath.
