This year, I'm really wanting to expand and improve my sewing, so I decided to try to diligently follow along with Project Run and Play, though I'll probably skip week. The first week's challenge was a pattern remix of The Cottage Home Mama's Party Dress. My version was inspired by a prom dress I saw on (you guessed it) Pinterest.

To make my version, instead of having a contrast band at the bottom of the skirt, I created two skirts and gathered the top one in 6 places.
The tutorial was super lovely. So easy and speedy!
After pictures, Eleanor insisted on staying in her new 'princess dress'. She was so cute sitting there, I couldn't help taking another picture of her.
I also used snaps instead of buttons, because I was worried the mystery fabric I was using wouldn't hold up to it.
I love the big bow!

Despite being unsure about the two fabrics I was using, I think it turned out rather well. It reminds me of sunflowers.
