Well I am pleased that I am making progress on some things but let em be honest, I really need a completed project to make me feel a little better! It will be a bit before I can pick up more batting so the finished tops do not count until they are quilted and bound with nothing left to do on them. You can see the full UFO/WIP List I am going off for the Finish-a-long first quarter (with pictures) HERE--to be updated next week!!. So lets get some clothing items completed this week!
[Updated: 01/30/2013, new pictures added of Z's Birthday dress]

When I pulled the left over yardage out I figured out there was enough to cut the same dress for Z's older Cousin! She has a birthday this summer, but for now we are just making her a coordinating dress! I used some of the pink yard I bought a couple of weeks ago for the lining and Sash for her dress. I haven't decided on if I will use a Zipper, Snaps, buttons or velcro. What do you think works best for a child? My husband is voting Zipper for Z, but she is turning 2, her cousin is 5 this summer. Oh, I was so excited that at the last minute I decided not to order the Sashing fabric because I happened to spy the fabric above in my Stash as I was passing by. I have all the containers open, lidless, and leaning against the wall to iron, fold and organize any yardage that has meandered out of their place or new items I may have purchased in the past couple of years that are just floating around my craft area. I have to remember to shop my Stash more often!!
