Aurora Party Dress

I had the pleasure of testing again for Sunday Girl Designs.  This time we worked on the Party Dress.  This darling little dress comes together easily with a lined bodice, several skirt options and a lovely petal sleeve option and full skirt.  My daughter fell in love with the floral fabric and we went from there. She was excited to have a new dress for Easter and I was excited to be testing again!  The updated pattern has a narrower sash but this dress is definitely a favorite!

This pattern is available on Etsy in the Sunday Girl Designs shop.  The Party Dress is one of their many great patterns.  Another favorite of ours is the Jane's Plain Dress and Tunic.  We made several of these last summer and she has asked for a couple more already this year! Here's our first from last year!

The Pixie Basket

This morning as I began sorting out my table for the tenth time this month I realized I really needed something to toss all my sewing clips in.  I have had a stash of these for a while but have just recently begun using them and find that they are definitely a great help in my bag making projects!  I made a couple larger bags this week which led me to opening more packages of clips and they were taking over!  A quick trip to Pinterest led me a tutorial for the Pixie Basket tutorial on the Fabric Mutt Blog. She had very clear and direct instructions which made this task a quick and easy and in no time I had a great little basket to fill with my clips to keep them off of the table and all in one spot.  I used some fabric I already had out from some bags I made for my daughter and her best friend who are off to D.C. for their 8th grade trip.  Such a great little end product!  I'm sure I will be making more of these in the future.
