A Celebration of the Color Pink💮


    This is a custom piece I like to call "A Celebration of the Color Pink." I LOVE it! I wish I was 3 or 4 years old again, so I could wear it. 😆 It was made for a friend's great niece, who is adorable. I made it using Simplicity 1595.  My friend provided the main fabric and ruffle trim. I was able to find the tulle and pink satin easily at Hobby Lobby. A few design aspects were altered: shortened the sleeves and no elastic in them, eliminated the ruffle on the hem, and added a tulle skirt overlay with a ruffle trim 💖.  The unabashed femininity and girly-ness of it is great. The only difficulty was putting the trim on securely and neatly. All the ruffles wanted to get under the sewing machine needle, so I ended up sewing on the bottom edge by hand to prevent the trim from rolling up to the inside. Easy pattern to follow adjust, so I recommend it!
