I'm really, really good at procrastination, when it comes to something that I have to do. Terrible, I know.
Take the flower girl dresses that I am supposed to make for my daughters. It is supposed to be ready for the wedding on the 18th.
I have only made one. That gives me one week to make another. I had about 6 weeks to make 2 little dresses, but I leave it to the last week to make the remaining one.
Meanwhile, I find all sorts of other things to do.
Like what?
Why, remember this toile I made from Butterick 6062?
Well, I did. It is to make sure that I can make a dress out of the knit fabric that I am so fond of. If the fabric is familiar, it is because I had used it before to make this top. I noticed that the fabric went on sale a few weeks after making that top, and I could not help myself. I just had to add it to my fabric stash.
Well, here is is!
You can probably tell that I love it!

What a pretty dress!
Thank, Myrnie.
Gail, I got that from my local fabric store. They pack their store full of fabric, and it is difficult to pick out the nice ones. Once it a while, I get lucky!
Aww, come on - a week is MORE than enough time to make a little dress! (Provided you don't plan on eating or sleeping, and your family doesn't expect you to prepare meals for the next 7 days. ;-))
Good luck. Your dress looks great!
The dress is really nice. I love the colors in the print.
