I just finished this dress.. I cut it 14 years ago for my first granddaughter that is 16 now and swore I will make that silly dress.. the dress is all lined and the under-dress is all piped on the hem and the center front and the center back have 5 rows of elastic plus elastic in the top of the sleeve.. what a bear to make.. just because there was so much extra to do.. for a size 5 little dress.. this will be worn by my 4 11/12 year old granddaughter on her 5th birthday next month.. yea it is made.......and I will never make that pattern againnnnnnnn........... how many of you have UFO's

Sounds like something I would. I have some cutout projects in a box that go back 2 or 3 years. I even looked fora pair of capris that I thought I had made and finally found them with pattern still pinned on them ready to make.

That little dress is adorable. A lot of work went into it, but it will look great on & I'm sure will be adored by many.

I have lots of patterns I buy with good intentions on making the outfit. Then I discovered my daughter grew faster than I could sew them - LOL!

That is a stunning dress and will make your little GD look so pretty - I hope the older one doesn't get upset when she sees it finished - knowing it was for her - Hehehe! I had a couple things for my daughter - when her daughter came and went past that size - I finially gave them away - I don't sew much any more.

It's never too late. I think we all have those UFO's in the corner somewhere. Well done. Just think if you kept it longer it may just me an "heirloom" oops

The dress looks lovely. Luckily styles like this don't go out of fashion. My ufo's include a couple that are so dated, they are only right for a fancy dress party!

Now YOU are a woman who is persistant! Perhaps it was just meant for DGD! It is lovely.

Well, the dress will be one of a kind since anyone will be hard pressed to find the same prints on their dress. It looks lovely, the gold ribbon does finish it of nicely!

That is very pretty. I think we all have some UFO's somewhere! I am about to move my sewing room to a bigger room. I just about imagine what I am going to find under all the stacks! Great job on the dress!

Great job! It is really cute and now another grand daughter will get to enjoy it for her 5th birthday. I am sure it is a relief to have completed an UFO! You have given us all motivation to tackle our own UFOs!

Very cute! She will love it I'm sure! I'd love to see a picture with her wearing it. You did a great job on it. It looks better than one that you could purchase from a store. I have some UFO's in my stash of sewing and craft stuff. I have stock piled alot of material over the last 20 years. I did part with a few pieces of my stash and donated some of it last year to a church who distributes to needy people in our area.

I too have cut-out projects for my daughter, (since she was about that same age, who is now grown. I also have the old notions with the old prices on them. Boy, talk about inflation. There's hope for us and our UFOs! This is very cute.

Famous last words, never again, buuut the things we will do for our children & grand children. U know I really think that's why God makes grandmothers to do special things, & yes I have many ufos & guess what, mom has been dead now for many yrs, & every now & then I get out one of her many ufos & finish it up, passing it on to a grand or great grand of hers. *4U
