Okay, don't expect this sort of stamina every week but I have ANOTHER GIVEAWAY courtesy of a late night Saturday with Comedy Central's airing of Better Off Dead. This came out so 'as I had envisioned' that it breaks my heart to part with it but for you dear readers I will. It is copied from a dress I had seen in Small Magazine I believe the designer was Misha Lulu. I did the embroidery myself. It has a red pompom trim, applique roosters and chicks feeding across the bottom. For the material, I used a soft white Egyptian cotton. It came out quite playful and sweet. I don't know what my obsession is with rickrack lately but I think it really brings out the party in a dress. I want to cover my car, my living room, my life in it. But what I'm REALLY excited about are the custom labels I have made for the clothes (see last image). I've sewn them into the caplet and now this dress. For me, it takes the clothing to a whole new level. This dress would fit a child 2-4. However, I left a bit extra in the straps that can be taken out if you wanted to use it for a child older than four. It might be a little big for a two-year-old. I can't really be sure.
Just as before....if you would like to win this little diddy just link to this post. If you use blogger just click on
