Knot Kitty

I know I already did one version of this dress for Project Run & Play, but who says I can't make another?  (If this is too similar, and against the rules, please let me know!)


Since we're spending Easter in Idaho with my brother's family, I figured I would make a matching dress for cousin Kitty.  But we won't be there for another 17 days, and I wanted to show off the dress now.


Kitty's mom requested something besides a maple leaf, so I had some fun changing up the flip side - a floral center panel (on front and back) with a light blue gingham.  I'm pretty proud of myself for creating my own pattern, I'm just hoping it's long enough for the little girl it's intended for, since I forgot to take some seam allowance into consideration (I remembered the hem, I forgot about the top).   


And thank you, little man, for modeling the dress - you were the only one around that fits in size 2.  I promise I will never use these pictures as blackmail.  But you do look adorable!  (Why can't I get such fabulous pictures of my own kid so easily anymore?)

Cute. I love gingham. And don't tell anyone, but I've used my son to model skirts before. :-)

Ha ha ha! Summer and Marnie think it's so funny that a boy modeled the dress. I would have thought it totally hilarious if Cousin got the same maple leaf as Cupcake, just because of the whole US/Canada thing we've got going on. I would totally put my kids in the maple leaf regardless of nationality just because it looks so COOL! That's totally my favorite side of the dress.
