Butterflies & little flowers


I can't believe it!  I've finished my first pillowcase dress!  I can't wait for Samantha to wear it.  I hope she likes it.  I wish I had more of this material and ribbon I used for the trim.  I noticed the neck line didn't gather as much as some of the ones I've seen.  I'm not sure if it's because of the width of the ribbon I used or the stiffness of it.  I just liked that the ribbon matched the dress with the butterflies & colors.  I hand sewed the ribbon hem. I now know why hand made items cost so much!  It took me 3 hours to sew one side on!  I can't wait to get started on the next one.  I just need to pick up more ribbon for that one as there's not enough!
