Here is Hattie Ann's most recent dress: 
And I learned a lot with this dress...
1. I LOVED this high quality fabric I purchased during the Gucker Girls reunion.
B. There is A LOT that this pattern LEAVES out...
3.I am grateful for the HELP of Kathy Chase.
C. Bias tape is OVER RATED.
(I had very little fabric left from the bodice so i decided to just turn the edges in and get it the crap done!)
4. Hattie WILL NOT WEAR THIS DRESS!!!! WHY???!!!!
Oh well I can save it just in case I have another little girl who WILL wear it!





SEE Who needs Bias tape?!

Thank YOU Hailey for all the AMAZING FLOWERS AND BOWS! 
Hailey is Kathy's daughter and was also at Gucker girls weekend.
