I did it!
I will share a pic once I take and develop one...alas no digital camera here. But, I had the perfect scrap of fish print fabric to use, and yellow ribbon just laying around waiting for something like this! It came out sooooo cute, and I did it in an hour while Katie played with her friend. Awesome!
Now we just have to see if Katie likes the ribbons at the shoulders, she wasn't sure about that but is wearing it happily now. Oh, and next time I would like to make it 22" as it's a bit short.
I love the idea of using a chambray with a finished embroidered edge. This would also look gorgeous in eyelet! Also, the ribbon at the hem looks lovely.
I have all these small pieces of calicos laying around that aren't suitable for patchwork because they don't match anything else I have. I think I just found a use for them!
Thanks for leading, Allison. I haven't sewn for fun in a long time and this was the perfect project to start with.
