Stars & Stripes

My house is a mess and I have company coming to stay for a few days.  So what do I do...sew.  Our family 4th of July party is tomorrow and there are always a lot of photographs, I want my little ones to be decked out in patriotic outfits.  Here is the outfit I made for my little girl.

There is a flower on the left shoulder

She had fun wearing the dress for the photo shoot

And she found a treasure.

She has been collecting a lot of "treasures" lately.

I followed this pattern to make the basic dress, the ruffles are four inch strips of material, the collar is 5 inches folded in half.  The base of the dress is made from a white t-shirt I found on clearance at a fabric store.
