Another McCall's 9227 for my granddaughter.
Those are not the cap sleeves from the pattern. I just wanted little ruffles so I made little ruffles. Also added the border, like on the last one. On this one I left off the sash and used elastic on the back waistline instead. (I do that on my own dresses that are supposed to have a sash because I really don't like sashes.) I feel like this photo doesn't do it justice. It's super cute and I can hardly wait to see her wear it.
I have had the pink fabric for about three and half years so it counts toward my stash-busting goal of sewing from my older-than-2-years stash at least once a month or an average of 12 a year. The blue pin dot fabric is much newer. Both came from the local quilt shop.
By the way, this and the other little dress are a size 5 in case you were wondering. It's a bit long because she's tall for her age and also she likes her dresses sort of long - well below the knee but not necessarily maxi.
Goal: Sew fabric that I have had for 2+ years at least once a month (or 12 times this year) 4/12
These are both adorable; I would like one in my size just like the pink one (but maybe minus the ruffles? At almost 70 I sometimes need a cardigan......).

I need to consider how well things play with cardigans and jackets myself but I don't always.
