i want one too! so freakin' adorable. LOVE the deer and the little bows are super cute. are the straps tied at the top?

that's super adorable. makes me wish i understood how to do sleeves. i really like the monogram/initial on the front. very very sweet. i bet it will be a big hit!

yay! it turned out soooooo SWEET! i love the length on her. cute cute! and you must have inherited some of your mom's brilliance or learned by osmosis or something, because it certainly doesn't show that you are new to sewing.

great dress! i love how you used the materials. my horse-addicted kiddo would LOVE this.

you know... it's actually lookin' sorta ottobre to me. check these out and tell me if i'm crazy...

it's cute as is, but if you aren't happy with it, i say "crap it up!" (meant in the very best of craptastic ways, of course) bring on the ribbons and sleeve poofs and underskirts!

I'm in the middle of this project, and I must say that it is SO easy, even for a total beginner like me! One question about the knife pleating, though...and it may be a silly question. On the tutorial link you posted, it showed the blogger knife pleating a single layer of fabric. I was wondering if the knife pleats you did are "doubled up", pleating two layers of fabric with a pressed edge? That probably made no sense at all! Thanks for any tips on the pleating.

yay! i'm always happy to hear folks think this is easy. i believe i used the selvage edge at the bottom of the knife pleat, so mine was just one layer. but you could certainly do it with 2 layers and a pressed edge.

oooooo! how fabulous is that! cute cute cute. LOVE the dingle balls!

ha ha ha. that is REALLY cute.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! i just have to say for like the millionth time, your girlie is sooooooo soooooo precious. the ears are so amazingly cute. i MUST make one of those. i'm thinking that would be a great xmas present for the schmoo.

too too freakin' cute as usual. i'm LOVING LOVING LOVING the dress. i have some retro fabrics (not as cool as what you manage to find, though) that are crying out for something like that.

and if you started that vegbee "queen of the tutes" fan club, i'd be right there with you as a charter member. how much does she rock, eh? i have to confess that i've secretly been a member of the tuff_as_snails fan club of cyber stalkers for a while now, but i'm sure i've got some more creepy to go around.

beautiful! i love the silver hem. nice touch.
