It has gotten to a point where my little girl refuses to wear anything other than a dress. Preferably a pink one! I am really not sure where she is getting all those girly genes from, maybe they were just silent in my generation? Winter will be tough for her when you have to wear those nasty wool clothes to survive (or tough on the parents that have to force her to wear it).

The dress addiction was a good excuse though to make her a dress from a fabric I have been saving for a long time. Saving here really means I haven’t had time to use it but saving sounds nicer… It felt like a perfect choice for me since it was yellow and I am sick and tired of everything pink. I picked the new pattern my all time favorite sewing blogger just released. The Junebug dress. Nice, simple pattern that comes with easy visual instructions. It was excellent for someone like me that usually doesn’t have more than half an hour at a time to sew. My only complaint is that the dress is a little bit difficult to get off even if it is still a little bit big.

Truth to be told, she refused to wear the dress when I had finally finished it. I tried showing her all the princesses I could find that wear yellow dresses but little miss stubborn wasn’t sold on the idea. It wasn’t until I caved in an offered bribes that she calmly stated: “I can try” like she had never really been opposed to the idea. After she put it on, she was sold and even asked if she could wear it for her first day at a new Kindergarten tomorrow. So sweet of her!
