Dress not crochet or knit

[spoula]

Dear Myra,
Thank you so much for the compliment. I bet once you get back into sewing it will come back to you as you do not forget once you learn and everything will be fine. I look forward to seeing some of your work.

Again thanks so much for your nice compliments.

Spoula, This little dress is beautiful. Great job! Especially with no pattern.

Hello dafydil, Thank you so much. I did not have a pattern just something in my head I wanted to make.

I finally got to see my granddaughter in the dress and unfortunately it was too tight in the bodice and the length was too long. I can fix the length but it is impossible to correct the bodice without destroying the whole dress. I might be able to give the dress to my great niece that was born yesterday. Lots of black hair and she weighted 7 pounds 2 ozs.

I looked at it and after all the hand work and intricate stitching I know I can't salvage it. I sewed all the seams shut to look neat and clean on the inside and it is too much work for me to rip it out. I will just make another one a little bigger and a little shorter. Or I could take the advice of Sweet Sue and cut it up the back and make a pinafore. That would be even better. I have time to think about it.

Hello Carrieyounice, Thank you I am glad you liked the dress and yes it is true we work hard for our grandchildren.

What did you mean "I know this was a few years ago"? I didn't understand that sentence.

I guess I'm just not very tech savvy. When I saw your post, I thought I had stumbled upon a post from years back. I just love the little dress. Thanks for sharing.
