tHe iNsaNe dIVa!

Okay, I promised myself two months to make 2 dresses for my girls and a cardigan for me, but as usual, 3 days before the day I find myself rushing and having to do overtime to get our Easter outfits done by Sunday morning.

Here is one of the two Easter dresses for the girls. My eldest is modeling hers while wrapping up an indoor Easter egg hunt at Grandma's house

Here is another pose from my sweetie.
She sure looks lovely in her new dress!


I used a pretty Floral patterned cloth from Wal-Mart for the bottom and I used drapery sheers for the top layer. I've used tulle on other dresses that I have made before and they have a bad tendency to rip and tear. I figured the sheers can take the rough and tumble that little girls do and I was right!

this top is cute, and so is the model! You did a nice job... on both ;)

Thank you! I was insane to try to get it done the way I did and now I am paying for it. No crocheting for at least 2-3 days. More time to surf! Yaay!

Beautiful work on that easter dress, Beth! And thanks for the tip on drapery sheers versus tulle. I may have to try an overlay like that sometime!
