I can't wait for Spring to arrive so that we can have more sun-filled days! I am definitely a "solar-powered person"! Last week during our 4+ days of gray sky and rain, I brought the sunshine and Springtime inside by working on this fun little dress for a class I'm teaching at Thimbles in Hoover, AL. I started with the Jacqueline pattern by The Children's Corner; I modified it to have a 3" wide band at the bottom of the skirt. I chose to use a combination of Lilac and Apple Green Pique from Fabric Finders and made my piping from Fabric Finder's Black and White Striped Pique. I attached a Black and White checked ribbon directly above the hemband seam. I then appliqued a set of my Bright Lime Green Gingham Delilah the Daisy flowers on the front of the dress. To continue with the Black and White accents, I stacked Black buttons on top of White buttons and used them on the center of the yoke and down the dress back.
