more tiny sundress fun!





I can't stop. Seriously, what did I do before I knew about elastic thread?? I want to shirr everything that isn't nailed down!

I had this bit of eyelet lace; I'd tried to make a skirt with it several years before but it was frumpy, so it just sat in my scrap pile until the shirring bug struck. I cut a small rectangle, shirred it, folded the bottom up to make a bit of a belt area at the waist, and then gathered a slightly longer rectangle of the pretty eyelet bottom for the skirt. The ties are just folded over and sewn. I am thinking this may be for my niece Gracie's bday... she is a tiny faerie changeling girl so I am hoping it will fit, because it seems very small now that it's finished...

I need to start on my own sundress before this fever passes, but the tiny ones are so fun (and satisfying, since they are wee and take almost no time)!
