Jessi's Dress

So I don't know if you recall, but back in the summer, my daughter Jessi started making a linen dress.  Then life got a little busy with dating, getting engaged, getting married, and so forth ;)  But somewhere in all of that, Jessi did manage to finish her dress!! And it turned out so beautifully!!  Doesn't she just look stunning :)  

Our last bit of progress left off with needing to add the zipper in the back and hemming the full skirt.   And wow, did she do a great job on that zipper.  This dress fits just perfect and looks so pretty on her.    It is made with this Botany Linen Print from Alli K for Moda Fabrics.  Did you know that Moda Fabrics makes Linen Prints!!  They are a dream to work with and obviously, sews up into a beautiful finish :) 

And yes, that was a lot of hemming!!!   This skirt is super full and oh so much fun to swirl in.  Jessi was having fun dancing around the backyard ;)   You can find the links to this wonderful pattern we found on etsy in this post.  

I am just so proud of Jessi for making this dress.  Anything that is not 2D sewing is pretty intimidating to me, but she just worked her way through each step and has a beautiful finish to show for it!!!   And again, a huge thank you to Grandma for helping us through when we both got a little confused ;)  

And one more picture for fun . . .this is the newest member of Jessi and Trey's new little family.   Missy is a sweetheart and had so much fun running around during this little photo shoot ;)  

And with that, I wish you all a very Happy Quilting (and maybe a little sewing) Day!!
