the quickest sundress ever . . .

I wanted to make a new sundress for my oldest daughter, and after she rejected just about every fabric in our local fabric store, she saw a dress on the wall and pointed.  The fabric comes pre-shirred on the top half, and loose on the bottom.

All you have to do is sew the center back seam and finish it off with a zig-zag stitch or a serger . . .

Hem the bottom . . .

And you can leave it like that for a strapless dress - but for fear of her little brother tugging at her in church, I told her she needed to have straps added . . .

Pretty sure this is the quickest dress I have ever sewn up.

So not exactly what I had in mind when we went fabric shopping, but she loves it.  And now I can get back to finishing up a dress that I have been sewing for myself (which is coming together nicely, but not anywhere close to this quickly).
