A few posts ago, I was going great guns to make a dress for my great niece’s birthday on July 11. Tonight I made the buttonholes and stitched the hem. The dress is done - yay! Today is July 7, so it would seem that I’m right on track…..with one minor major hitch: even if I package it up tonight and mail it tomorrow, it won’t be in Perth, Western Australia by Monday, or even by {probably} the following Monday. I could kick myself now for the days when I let other things get in the way of my progress, especially since I cut it out and prepped it to take along as hand work for my trip to South Africa way back in early May.
Instead of kicking myself too much, I must stop and look at this little dress and think what it means: I accomplished “something smocked” again, which is really awesome! I also found it’s still a form of stitching I really, really love, love, love!
And happy birthday, precious Rebecca! How can you already be a grown up 3-years old?

| Front view - this style can also be a jumper or pinafore. Since it's winter in Perth now it may well start out that way and later become a sundress! |
