Sew, here's the dress!


Here is the halter dress! The hem isn't finished in the picture, but it is now!! Yeah! I wasn't sure I would get HC to put it on again without resistance, so I took the pic without the hem finished. This was actually the EASIEST thing I've ever made!! I could make this dress all day long!! :o) It was pattern #6361 by New Look! This was the first dress I made without any prior instruction! I did tweak it a bit because I did not quite understand what they were trying to say, but otherwise, it was simple! I also took it in a little after this picture. I am pleased and so is HC! She put her barrette in herself, she was quite proud of that achievement. The photo below is a close-up of the fabric.

As I was putting away the camera, I heard "I'm ready mom." So here is the picture of JB ready for His close up! He is used to being forced to join in on the pics, so I guess he thought he would go easy on me tonight! haha An added bonus is the bedhead and the pj pants stained from dinner. He must always wear shoes now, this is a new quirk!
