This turned out to be a very simple Remnant Redo. I made a cute dress for a little girl I know.

The fabric, which was not a remnant, was a Joann’s Easy Wash and Care fabric. A pattern for a little purse was included in the envelope.
The cute little purse
Naturally I had a remnant for the required 3/8 yard purse lining. And I had a bunch of spare notions around the stash: a felt flower button and a light-blue pearl button for the flower center, blue ribbon, and a clip-on sunflower to embellish the purse.

Thank you, my original hope was to find a “no-iron” fabric, so I hope it is…

I soooo wish I could sew like you do, but when it comes to sewing, I’m all thumbs. My grandmother was a very skilled dressmaker and tailor. I did not inherit her talents.

I had to laugh, my mom and grandmother were great at sewing: quilts, drapes, Wedding dress and veil, anything and everything, but the talent didn’t come naturally to me! My mom thought I was unteachable and my home-ec teacher in jr high could not approach me without grinding her teeth audibly. I had to rip out this bodice and re-do it because I looked at the wrong view on the pattern the first time. The seam ripper is my most-used tool!

What a beautiful dress and bag…you clever bear! I’m sure that the little girl receiving it will love it. xx
