create:: mermaid dress

Here is the latest in my summer of the sewing machine! This type of sundress is easy, fun and quick to make...I made several for her and for me last summer, but this is the first for this year.  The shirring (gathering) at the top of the dress is done easily with elastic thread in the bobbin (regular spool on top).  And who can resist adorable mermaid fabric (found at my local Joann's)?  Just right for the 100 degree weather we are having!

(...and now, off to spend as much of the rest of today as I possibly can in the pool...)
