Vogue 8571 - Second time

I had a piece of rayon lycra knit in my stash and this time of year Erin really likes to wear dresses to school.  What is a mom to do but sew her a dress?

I used Vogue 8571 for me back in 2009 and it is still one of my favorite dresses.  So I thought it would be a good choice for Erin.

A quick picture on my phone of Erin in her dress.

Today was my last day at my current job, it was time for a change.  So for the time being, I plan on sewing more, getting caught up on my scrapbooks and look for my next job.  Time will tell what that will be.

    That is a beautiful color. Looks comfy and easy to dress up or down. I'll have to put that pattern on my ever-growing list.

    What a great color! It looks like a beautiful easy dress for spring too. I just bought some mustard rayon lycra...perhaps it will get sewn up more quickly now.
