The momentum is going now. Without it, I'm sure I would have declared the dress too small long ago. I mean, come on. She's worn it every season, starting last summer and continuing into fall. The we stretched it into a winter dress...and then spring...and summer. Surely, it's too small now, but really, it's not.
It is getting a little short, though, even as a tunic so for the autumn version, I wanted to add a bottom ruffle. Not being an experienced seamstress, I wasn't sure I could do it, but I borrowed my mom's machine, set aside a few hours to work, and was pleasantly pleased with my results.
Having given the border my all, I decided this season's embellishment needed to be ultra-simple so I stitched a oversized yo-yo from an old T-shirt and tacked down a button, creating an autumn flower.
It was also time to replace the button on the back-- replacing the green button with a clear, glittery flower button.
While she models it the next couple of months, my mind will be spinning, thinking of the next design. Gotta keep it going...
