The Third Day

I think I've spoken of my little problem before, but when it comes to crafting, I often can't stop working on something until I "get 'er done".
So, I finished her dress...
 pattern: Sweetheart Dress by Shannon of luvinthemommyhood
perfect for playing hide-and-go seek...
looking at the stars...
striking a pose...
and throwing a fit. ha!
I managed to wonkify the most special detail of the whole dress, so I had to "make it work".
Love the topstitching...
and looooooove that it's fully lined. No itchy seams! 
I was originally planning to make two of these dresses, but I just can't seem to bring myself to sew another one right away. That's not I rollz. 
So, the sewing plan for today is to create a simple skirt for Ellie using the leftover fabric. 
See you on on the other side!

arrrr, matey!

A while ago, my sister went to Japan and brought back all sorts of goodies, like pretty paper, washi tape, various hello kitty paraphernalia, and a few yards of Japanese cotton that she bought on the street:

Owls...
and skulls.
 

Less than a yard of each, just enough to make more simple skirts!
 
As usual, Ellie had to get in on the fun. You may recognize the orange skirt, I made it for Noelle eons ago.
*ding!*
