The Yellow Dress

The First Day of School Dress is almost done. As requested, I'm making a Satsuki dress, which refers to the "My Neighbor Totoro" movie. In the second half of the film, the older sister wears a yellow sundress with a bouncy skirt. So I made a pattern, bought the material, and have been working away on this special dress.

My mother made me a First Day of School Dress also. She let me choose the material, and I picked a black and white striped fabric It became known as my Zebra Dress.

As I have been working on the dress for my daughter, it has helped me get excited, look forward to this transition. If we had waited until kindergarten to send her to school, hopefully at our church's school, where there is a uniform, then there would have been no First Day of School Dress.
