I've Been Sewing I have been working on three dresses.   This is the one I'm closest to finishing.  I've kept these butterflies for a long time and  I'm considering using these butterflies to embellish this dress.   I'm thinking about attaching them to the wrist or onto the belt.  Maybe both, I'll let you know what I choose to do. I did one sleeve and I'm getting ready to sew on the other one. I have the skirt part completed now I have to sew the skirt onto the bodice. I have lined both the skirt and the bodice.   When I finish that it will be time for me to finish the back of the bodice and sew the butterfly buttons onto it also. I can not post to Facebook because Facebook has  kept me from posting or it's just broken. I'm not sure yet what's going on. I finished both arms now. I'm going to quit for today and  hopefully, I'll finish this dress tomorrow. If not maybe Monday. Susan's Phone Photos  

Follow The Link To My Granddaughter's Dress   I put a lining on the inside. I do not have my new serger set up yet. I did finish all my edges with a zigzag stitch. I hemmed both layers. I both sewed and glued the bling around the waist. I used "Fabric Fusion" Glue. I put a hook and eye above the first button. It helps it stay closed nicely on both the inside and the outside.   Susan Nikitenko Photos Granddaughters Dress - Follow This Link

  I still have a few things to do to the dress. I have some work to do on the buttonholes. I need to reinforce each button. Put a hem in both layers of fabric at the bottom. Add a belt and bow with some bling. I'm not sure yet but I was considering embroidering vintage piglet and pooh at the bottom on the left side.   Follow Link: To See More About This Dress
