Hey All,
Finished the dress for DD's pal today.

album with DD's dress. Far and away the happiest prom dress I haveever made. :) Which suits the gal it's for all the way to the bone. ;) She's a great kid. As you will see from the dress, she is very petite!! She is also wheelchair bound, but it sure doesn't slow her down. Just love this little gal to pieces. I took remnants of the polka dot and the bright pink and did a rolled edge on the serger. That way she has scarves to tie to the handles of her chair. I asked her if she would like that and she was THRILLED! She loved her dress when I fit it to her the other day. Fit like a dream, will be even better now that it's hemmed. (there will be no more running over the skirt. She and I were laughing together at her "crazy driving".)
Oh, and this was her design. She and I emailed back and forth for a couple weeks. She knew precisely what she wanted. I didn't have time to draft anything for her, but we lucked out and found a pattern really close to what she wanted. Then we tweaked it from there. :) She was just a dream to sew for.
If I can, I will get pictures of the girls together this weekend.
