More on the "Minnie" dress

So I am about done with Katie's "Minnie Mouse" dress. After numerous rounds with the seam ripper, the end is in sight! The dress is entirely attached. The bindings on the neck and armholes are finished. I just have to put a hem at the bottom and close the back. I am not going to even mess with buttonholes. Velcro with faux button closures will work just fine for now.

The real test was to see if it fit her and it does! I realized that I do need to take the bottom up a bit more so that it isn't so long on her. So I am glad that I was able to fit it on her before I finished it. She can wear this dress just like this or with a t-shirt underneath. As she grows, she can wear it as a top with cute pants underneath.

I must say that I am so proud of myself for taking on this project. I think the sewing bug has bit me again and I can't wait to make more things for Katie.
