Vicky's New Dress



I wish I could take the credit for picking such a GORGEOUS fabric. But Kristen brought it to me along with the chair. She had a vision.


Here is a sneak peek of the distressing. I know I left you hanging yesterday...


When I cut the fabric, I line it up to the original piece and leave about 3 inches all around.


Now I am waiting for my Curve Ease to arrive so I can finish up the back (hurry up UPS man.) Once the back is on all she needs is a little double welting trim. She is gonna look great!

What do you think? Like the fabric?

I know I didn't show you the finished front. Gonna leave you hanging again...

    Victoria is going to be gorgeous - once you finish "dolling" her up! I like her new bold, trendy dress and the pretty color of her arms and legs...oh la la!

    Thanks for linking to the party, Sarah! I hope you'll join me each week. The rules are simple - link anything that's family friendly.

    By the way, I just joined you as a follower. And be sure to come by next Thursday, to see yourself featured. ;)
