I had two Easter sewing projects that I’ve been working on. The first was the bunny, which I’ve already finished. The second was the dress, which I was far more nervous about. I did finally finish though. It didn’t come without it’s setbacks and screw-ups, but at least it’s complete. Too bad the Easter dress had to be the trial run for the pattern. I really should have thought it through a little better and made the try-out dress before the Easter dress. That’s ok though. You can’t see my mistakes from afar, can you?
Here she is modeling it for me 
It’s perfect for twirling.
When I asked her what she thought of it she said it was beautiful. That’s all I need.
Why I do what I do ~ I have to take advantage of these years while she still wants to wear the clothes I sew for her. I know there’s a day coming when she won’t want the “homemade” dress. For now though … she makes my sewing look pretty darn cute.

I enjoy your blog but hadn’t commented before. You did such a gorgeous job on this dress, and it looks perfect on your little one – ESPECIALLY twirling.
My daughter is into twirling skirts, and I wish I was talented enough to make something like this.
My mother made a lot of clothes for my sister and I – not all of them were favorites, but some were absolutely inspired. Well done giving your girl such a special Easter gift!

I think it looks great Nicki. She looks absolutely beautiful and totally happy. Isn’t that a great feeling.
You actually inspired me to make one for my daughter.Unfortunately I lack a little on it though.
I had a little delay – I screwed mine up a little too. Thank goodness it was fixable.
Thanks for the inspiration!

The dress is beautiful. The kiddo is adorable. Put them together and it’s beyond words. The twirling picture is great. What a lucky girl to have such a talented mama.
