WHAT A BUMMER! I've got Aqualina here with me today as she is off school. A perfect time to finish off her dress as she needed a size 12 bodice! She's only 8! I had already made the size 8 so I'll keep the bodice for Delphi, as I don't think it will fit Ophelie who is also 8. Mind you because Aqualina is a gymnast and a good swimmer I think she'll always be broader across her back!

Anyway, half way through the final sewing of the sash, my machine starts playing up! I've only had it since August! So I've given up for the day and will pop into Thorpe's tomorrow. I've got the Brother sewing machine but as I've got to get the other kids from school in only an hour or so, I'll leave it till later this arvo.

In the meantime Aqualina loves it and it fits beautifully. I'll do some more covered buttons too as I think it sets off the dress beautifully. Love Chris

1. Aqualina's dress - unfinished sash and I've yet to sew the buttons on the back. You can see Jasana's hanging up behind hers.
This dress pattern is the Posey dress by Ainslee Fox dress patterns Australia.

UPDATE: I finished the dress and decided to add side sash holders so the sash won't slide down. Very pleased with my effort!
