Mardel’s little girl is turning 2 soon.  She commissioned a couple sundresses from me, giving me freedom to do pretty much whatever.  And here’s what I made.

Elena’s a very girly girl and happens to look fab in purple.  I hope she likes these!

By the way, I was flabbergasted when I saw this yesterday.  Thanks, Craft!  And thanks, dear readers, for all your support!  What an encouraging day.

We’re going out of town for a week, but I’ll be back soon… :)

    Oh my goodness! What charming dresses! I especially *heart* the leaves on the hem of the cream and purple dress. Were those worked by machine or by hand??

    The leaves were done with my machine because I just couldn’t resist! :)

    These are so adorable! The lighter colored one looks quite simple as well. I’ve been wanting to make a couple summer dresses for my little one, and I think something like that could be just the ticket!
