I am very lucky to have an adorable granddaughter who loves all things girly. Having no idle hands means always making something. Though even my granddaughter doesn’t need that many dresses. Luckily I have friends with little girls. So when a certain little girl had a 4th birthday, I got right to work.
The blue fabric is from my friend Barbara, who gave me a large stash of quilting fabric. It goes very well with the Riley Blake, polka dots, I didn’t even notice that it has little apples instead of a dot.
I use my love of quilting when sewing, it is hard for me to only use one fabric in a garment. I like how the sleeves are faced with the yellow.
If that isn’t happy I don’t know what is. Having a friend who works for Hello Kitty is also a big plus, a cute little purse with a puzzle inside.
I’m equally proud of the back, yes I inserted an invisible zipper.
Like all girls, she loves ‘talking’ on her phone, while sitting on a blanket I knit for her little sister.
Best reward of all, she loves what I make her and I get delicious hugs every time I see her. I’d say that is worth a few dresses.
