You dont need to go broke to make your kids look good

I picked up some wonderful pink with a delicate black print from Michael Miller at the remnant warehouse for $2.95. Score! I am unsure of the name of the pattern but its very sweet. I should have bought more than 2 metres at that price. So you don't have to pay full price for a designer fabric to be able to make a nice dress. I am not willing to buy highly overpriced designer fabrics and am happy to buy just regular Spotlight or discounted fabrics and its even great coz sometimes you can pick up some discounted designer fabrics. The only way I am willing to pay full price is if I really, really, really want it. And nothing so far has grabbed me that much that I am willing to go broke for it. Over $20 a metre for fabric is too much to pay when I am struggling. I could buy 4 metres of something less pretentious anyways :D so I'd rather do that.

So here is the lovely little dress I got to make Georgia. I am unsure if it fits her. I didnt use a pattern, just kind of winged it. But it looks ok. Its fastened at the back with ribbon, as I dont own a snap machine and am not good with buttonholes or zippers I thought this might be much sweeter. It also has contrasting ricrac, thanks to KaMalicious for inspiring me to buy lots of ricrac and have the courage to use them on dresses :D
