    Thank you ladies!

    Its hanging in my kitchen ATM, so I can stop an admire every 10 minutes, haha!

    The pattern is "Kwik sew #3775"

    My next assignment is "Kwik sew #3768"

    Ooo and I just got off the phone from my Aunty. I emailed her a photo, haha. She said she has HEAPS of patterns for me, so she's bringing them to town next week! Yey! Best part... they'll already be cut! LOL!!

    Haha yep it was me, I wanted to comment on your photo

    #3768 looks like a pillowcase dress, have a google & you'll find heaps of info on them.

    Thanks Tanstar
    The photo doesn't really give it justice, IMO. I think it's heaps cuter than the first one I made.
    Totally agree!! I'm thinking about making another one in christmas fabrics, they just scream "hot summer day".
    So easy to make too, I was really surprised!
    Good luck tomorrow!! Put some pics up for me to see! I love seeing people's creations

    You did a fantastic job Telly! I love how excited little kids get when they wear something that mummy made for them!

    I made a pillowcase dress for DD recently, they are super easy compared the the first dress you made. You could probably whip up a whole heap in a day
