Her birthday dress

 

The dress I made for daughter to wear on her special day, her birthday. Some may remember this fabric. It is the same fabric I used to make her sister's dress. Actually this is another version with the same combo. Another matching dress for the sisters.

  I was busy with some personal work and started working on this dress very late, so I kept it very simple. As per my daughter's wish it was a long (floor length) dress with velvet shrug. 

 Some more views of the dress.  Back...

without shrug...

The dress is incomplete without the matching accessories. So, here they are, the matching hair band...

Necklace and earrings

Excuse the  quality of the pictures. The dress is wrinkled. Our iron box is repair and not yet fixed.There are some lines in the back ground. They are not  lines, I cannot just call the creativity of my daughters as lines. Either, the walls has the paintings by my daughters or there is no good light for the pictures.

Happy sisters...

Learning new crafts- Home made clay

 

Yes.... I tried my hands in making homemade clay  and the result was very good. I loved working with it, made many roses, my favorite one. For the past few months I am working with flower projects. Still have some clay remaining and would like to try some more designs when I find time.

 

 

I made some studs using the clay to match the dress. The hairband and studs were custom made for one of my friend's daughter.

Rose hair band

 

A lovely hair band for lovely girl. Made with tissue cloth, satin ribbon, lace and with lots of love. I am still working on the dress and it may take two more days to complete...

Her birthday dress...

This year I kept it simple, since I can't spend much time in sewing and  I finished this dress in two days, one day for drafting and the next day for sewing. The material itself glitters more, so no embellishment expect the ruffles at the waist line. Hope you can remember this material, once I made a skirt and top for my cousin with this. I loved the material very much and got the same for my daughter. 

 About the headband, I made two flowers and joined them to make a big one. I like this flower headband and have plans to make some more bands with scraps. If possible I will try to write a tutorial when I am making the next one. Hope you too like this...waiting to hear your comments. Thank You
