The older kids spent the afternoon at grandma's house, so I made a quick dash down to Spotlight. I couldn't resist dropping in at Daiso just to see what they had - not that I've ever managed to make it out of Daiso without buying anything!!Anyway, I found this piece purple checked cloth for $2 and couldn't pass it up. There was enough to make a simple dress for Lucy. I based it loosely on the ruffle sleeve top tutorial here, but somehow the ruffle on my sleeves ended up much shorter. Oh well, it was still cute anyway. I added a line of ric rac around the bottom, so that it wouldn't look so plain. Otherwise, it was a loose, comfy dress, cheap and quick to make.
I thought Lucy looked really cute in it, especially since she let me put her hair up in two ponytails. She lasted all through church with her hair done up, but the moment we got into the car to leave, she pulled the ties out of her hair!
