Serious Sass

Sometimes I amaze myself with my skillz. I love to browse the site You Can Make This. Every once in a while I feel inspired that, YES, I CAN make that! Today was one of those days, so I made this....
A couple of things I totally shocked myself with, I made my own bias tape. 
That's right, I. made. my. own. 
Now the pattern said to make it out of the same material as the main dress fabric, but of course I didn't have enough of that. So I thought I would make it out of the trim fabric. But what I didn't realize right away was that it would make it (and any mistakes I made) super noticeable. I also thought that the hot pink thread was a good idea until I remembered I was a terrible seamstress!

So I went extra slow, only had to pick out one seam, and practically had a heart attack every time the needle moved....
Two naps and a couple of Dora's later....
And voila! Super cute, super sassy little dress for a super cute, super sass little girl...
 Oh, btw, The Boss got a hair cut.
