And what do you know? I'm finding all sorts of reason not to study. I have forbidden myself to start any major projects. However, it was driving me crazy! Crazy, I tell ya.
So, to mollify myself, I spent a little bit of time thinking of ways to refashion this skirt. I snagged it out of my friend's donation pile, in case I could 'do something with it'.
It's really pretty, but a little large for me. Also, it is not quite my style. I just could not picture myself wearing it.
In the end, I used Simplicity 4613 to make this cute dress for my little girls (they are about the same size, even though there is a 2 year difference in age)
I think this pattern is probably out of print. It is a great pattern, and the dress is very simple to make. I think, that if one had more time, it is not that had to draft a pattern from an existing dress. If you have a little girl, I'm sure there are many similar dresses in their closets!Here is the dress in action:

Oh, I love it! So cute. Yeah, I'd try to find something to do with the fabric too... it's a beautiful design.
Aw, what a cutie :) Great dress!
The dress turned out GREAT!!
Ooh! That's adorable!!!(I love "Grown up" prints on little girls!) Too bad the pattern isn't around anymore, it looks like one I would use over and over :)
