Sewing with LOVE continued


I loved making this sweet dress. My g'daughter requested a GUS applique instead of the purchased poodle I had planned on. We do like GUS much better don't we?



I think he will be quite pleased to be the center of attention in this little girls life.




I included a PINK bow also to replace the black check..if she decides one day, she would like the doggie to be our dear departed Heidi.

To make the applique...I ventured into trying my own freehand drawn GUS with a white marking pencil...I was very suprised at how well he turned out! Thankful!!! on the first try...whew~




How fun to use my Creative Heart...for such special little girls!


I can just hear Genevieve right now...

"This is GUS.....SEE!"

Sweet little outfit! She will enjoy "wearing" Gus! ;) You do beautiful work, Hope. I can't wait till I have little grandbabies to sew for someday.

The dress is SO adorable! And I can't believe you drew that little Gus applique! I thought for sure you bought it somewhere. Excellent job; I'm sure she'll love it!

Hi Hope,

Thanks for visiting My Daily Cup Of Coffee (Banana Cream Cheese Cake). I have tried my best to get the nearest measurement conversion for the recipe. I have updated my post with it. Do check that out.

The dresses are so cute! I would love to have one for each of my girls! It is so hard to find descent little girl dresses once they get out of the toddler sizes. Do you sew any for others to purchase?
