Time for a New Giselle

It was with great sadness that I have had to pass on Lydia's Giselle dress to my niece, Tessa. Lydia got to wear it one last time while we were in Florida in May. I took some cute pictures of her in it at the Grand Floridian. But, as we were leaving the Grand Floridian and I told her I had another dress for her to change into for our meal at Bomas, she asked "Does it have more elastic in it? Because my Giselle dress is getting too tight!" So, I'm thinking the next Giselle dress will be made with "more elastic" in it. :-) I'm working on some plans and hope to get started on it in the next week or two. I picked up some material that should work for it, and hopefully have enough for one to sell on Etsy too.

This is the old Giselle dress. Oh, how I loved this fabric, but I can't find it anymore!

Long Time No Post!

Wow, it was October when I posted??? Goodness!

Well, the other day, Armnida had a Famous African American Wax Museum at her school. Each kid in her class had to pick a famous African American to be. Then, they dressed as the character and stood out in the hall at school. People would then come and press the "buttnon" on their hands and the kids gave a short speach about the person. It was really a lot of fun! Arminda chose Serena Williams. I made her a skirt using CarlaC's Perfectly Preppy skirt pattern, available on http://www.youcanmakethis.com/ and Carla's raglan t-shirt pattern. Ok, I actually made the t-shirt earlier in the year for something else, but I did make it.

Etsy

I finally got more than one item listed on Etsy! Woo hoo! I added a Minnie Dot dress the other day, and am hoping to put up some more items soon. I like Etsy much better than Ebay, mostly because of the lower fees. But, there is also a friendly, homier feel to Etsy I think.
