First, I embellished a skirt to go with this daisy shirt that I made in the Spring to go with a pair of crazy striped pants I bought for $1. The pants are too hot for summer, so I bought a knit skirt that looks like denim to go with the shirt. To make the skirt and shirt look like they actually go together, I sewed on some little white daisy trim to the bottoms of the ruffles. It was so quick and easy to do and makes such a big difference. I just adore this little outfit now and keep grabbing it out of her closet every time it is clean.

Dorothy is currently in a Puff the Magic Dragon phase and I saw some adorable dragon fabric at the store a couple of weeks ago and had to have it. It was a home dec fabric, but was 100% cotton, so despite it saying dry clean only, I decided to go for it. Even better, it was on clearance. The kids were invited to a pirate themed birthday party, so the day before the party I decided that I need to finally get the dress made so she could wear it to the party the next day. For some reason, pirates and dragon go together in my head.

I think it turned out very cute and she didn't have any sheared dresses yet for this summer. |
I have a couple more things that I want to make for her, but I better get on it or summer will be over before she can wear them.
