Another little dress
This time, this dress is for a four year old and not a baby. I love the little pockets and the turquoise and while polka dot trim.

The office is in full sewing mode right now so pictures of the entire room and the pretty pillow I made will have to wait until next time. The curtain hardware all came from Ikea. Those clippy rings are such an amazing time...
