Featured in 'Threading My Way'

WooHoo! The pillowcase dress I made for another niece of mine last Christmas has been featured in Threading my Way's Threading your way - Dresses for Girls Link Party. 

Never in my life did I imagine that I would be making dresses although I love handmades. I do a lot of quilting (mostly small ones) and landscape wallhangings. Sewing a dress was the farthest thing in my mind until I started Dress A Girl Around the World - Dress A Girl Sydney & Australia in April 2011. I had to learn how to make a pillowcase dress. Lucky me it was only for a pillowcase dress to dress the less fortunate girls around the world. But lately I have been getting bolder in my sewing projects and soon I may make my own party skirt to wear to another niece of mine who is celebrating her 21st birthday in March but this would all depend on whether I have the time or not. But we will never know.

Here is the dress I made that was featured. It seems like a dwarf when it is displayed side by side with the other really good dresses sewn by the other crafters....but I made it with my own hands and am proud of it and my niece is walking tall wearing it. :-)
Thank you so much to Pam of Threading my Way for featuring my dress.

  2. Gigi your dresses are great. Mostly I sew on some lace which is much easier than pockets and ruffles for me. Keep up the good work.

  3. Thanks, Pam! Yes, I really want to make it that's why am finishing off all the small items that I have committed to complete so I can start making the skirt.
