On my Mind.

What's on my mind today???

Well, I want to tell you all about what I did with that stained green baby dress...

I took Melissa's advice, and went with some flowers growing out of the pocket... thanks for the idea!

So what exactly did I do?

First I used some iron on interfacing to attach fabric shapes to the dress. Of course they were strategically positioned to cover the stains - after all, that WAS the point of the exercise, remember?

Then got carried away in the moment and forgot to keep taking progress photos...

But basically I embroidered around the edge of each piece.

Added some buttons to the centre of each flower.

Worked some blanket stitch around the neck.

And some running stitch along the hem.

I couldn't help but add a little heart.

Ooooh... and I added some curly green stems...

And here's the finished dress:

Want to see my Little One wearing it?

She wasn't very good at lying still for the camera, but I did manage a few shots:
