That is so cute and I bet it's so comfortable. My daughter has been very ill and I haven't sewn in a month can't wait to do some sewing this weekend. It's such a stress releaser.

Beautiful! It's one of those dresses that looks so put together but I bet it's totally comfy to wear. Love that purple color, too. I have 2 (yep, 2... I forgot what I had bought) jersey cuts in that color to sew this spring.

I have this pattern on my list of dresses for this year. I was thinking of using a tweed. I hadnt realized it could be used for jersey fabrics. (eventhough it is the first fabric suggested on the pattern LOL!!) It looks great. I have told myself I cant buy another purple fabric. I have bought about 5 different tones of plain purple fabrics.

You look cute in this but I must admit that I'm sooooo jealous of the fact that you have bare legs in that picture! It's NEVAH gonna get warm enough here...or at least that's the way it seems!
