An outfit for grand-daughter Carmen.
Well, life threw me a few twists and turns, but I am again able to share some of my projects with you all. The design is from Urban Threads. Their recent sale was great! Though I modified the purse to be able to showcase the design, the original idea was from here:http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2014...The little shoes are from a similar pattern to toogie's. There are many free....http://crazylittleprojects.com/20...

7495What a cute outfit for sweet Carmen. I love how you used color to make your embroidery striking on this dress. I agree with Toogie.... those tiny details like the gingham lining in the shoes and the way that the embroidery tucks under the band on the purse are just perfect.

Thank you. I love the details in sewing. It allows us to add our own creative touches.
9754I love how all your different fabrics came together to complete this beautiful set. The design is excellent but I especially like your gingham lining in your shoes, the smallest detail. What have you used for the sole? I used the white Giffy Grip or PJ foot bottoms, on mine so she wouldn't slip, but sure shows dirt as she wears the outside,too.

Thank you, toogie, and thank you for the original post on the Mary Jane's. I used leather on the soles. I had found a maxi leather skirt at a thrift store years ago and I keep using bits and pieces of it for various projects. I love the gingham, too, but those pieces were the last of the scrap......sorry to see it go, but glad I had enough.
