Okay, don't expect this sort of stamina every week but I have ANOTHER GIVEAWAY courtesy of a late night Saturday with Comedy Central's airing of Better Off Dead. This came out so 'as I had envisioned' that it breaks my heart to part with it but for you dear readers I will. It is copied from a dress I had seen in Small Magazine I believe the designer was Misha Lulu. I did the embroidery myself. It has a red pompom trim, applique roosters and chicks feeding across the bottom. For the material, I used a soft white Egyptian cotton. It came out quite playful and sweet. I don't know what my obsession is with rickrack lately but I think it 
really brings out the party in a dress. I want to cover my car, my living room, my life in it. But what I'm REALLY excited about are the custom labels I have made for the clothes (see last image). I've sewn them into the caplet and now this dress. For me, it takes the clothing to a whole new level. This dress would fit a child 2-4. However, I left a bit extra in the straps that can be taken out if you wanted to use it for a child older than four. It might be a little big for a two-year-old. I can't really be sure.

I remember my mom sewing wide rickrack on my bell bottoms (home made, of course) to make them longer when I grew. I love me some rickrack to this day! My little niece would love that adorable pinafore...I can imagine her flitting around the yard at her country farmhouse (circa 1825) feeling very pinafore-y and special...you can see her and your link at:
