Frills & Flies


Now and then we do a bit of sewing mostly because we enjoy it. 
It's a spontaneous thing : and we often make up stuff as we go!

Thus it could go both ways : a delight or a disaster.
Delight is when we made something better than what we vaguely had in mind
(we usually do a happy-dance when this happens)
Disaster is when the gamble did not pay off
(we usually hide the evidence)
But most of the time, we are just happy that we went ahead and stitched. 


The very-little-girl nightie we made on Friday is no exception.
Sitting quiety in a corner pretending we didn't hear the phones ring 
We started off by making a nightie with some white lace and a button  
but instead, we took a full u-turn and ended up with this: 

a little girl's nightie with a small back opening 
and hand embroidered garden flies on the frill.




Do the dance or hide the dress?
