<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used vario<span style="font-size: large;">us square dies from Papertrey<span style="font-size: large;">, stamps (Mega Mixed M<span style="font-size: large;">essages, Framed Out<span style="font-size: large;"> #1<span style="font-size: large;"> and Little Hot Rod), paper (raspberry fi<span style="font-size: large;">zz, harvest gold and tropical tea<span style="font-size: large;">l)<span style="font-size: large;">, ink (true blac<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">k</span>, raspberry fizz) and cardstoc<span style="font-size: large;">k (true black). Lately, I find that I cannot create without putting <span style="font-size: large;">some form of a black accent. It is not any different with this <span style="font-size: large;">card.

Here is the second dress that I recently finished. It is from the same pattern I used in the <a href="http://craftmatesetc.blogspot.ca/2014/04/i-made-dress.html" target="_blank">first dress</a> I made. The only difference is that I added a Peter Pan collar using this <a href="http://nimblefingeredvixen.blogspot.ca/2013/08/peter-pan-collar-tutorial-for-sis-boom.html" target="_blank">tutorial</a>. I also went down a size smaller and omitted the pockets.<br />

Sorry for the lack of posts as I have been consumed with work related things lately. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Anyway, I'm back and I wanted to share with you the dress I recently made from a pattern I bought on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/100ActsofSewing?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">Etsy</a>. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The pattern consists of a front, back, sleeves, and pockets. The sleeves were a bit tricky to fit into the armhole and it was hard to make it pucker-free. Someone suggested not to sew the sides of the dress until the sleeves are fitted so I will try that next time. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's a simple dress with no buttons or zippers. Actually, it's a bit more of a tunic than a dress that you can wear with leggings or pants. I am so thrilled with how it turned out and I am inspired to make more of my own dresses. </span><br />
