a dress for Alyssa . . .

Well I'm definitely getting some use out of this pattern, this is my fourth tiered round-neck dress from Portabellopixie Gracie. I couldn't resist making one for Alyssa so that she can have a new dress for baptism (hopefully we'll still have a bit of Summer left by then). It's also my first time back in the sewing room since the reno - and wow, it felt good making something again! The fabric is from the Posh by Chez Moi line from Moda - it was on clearance at our local quilt store. Alyssa loves it and I had to bribe her to get it off after I took a couple pics - I LOVE having girls to sew for!
