Sewing Across the Miles

I finally finished a project I started for The Mouse a few months ago. She picked out some Jake and the Neverland Pirates fabric last year, but we didn't have a plan for it. We finally decided on this dress:

It's been cut out and sitting in a pile for a while now, so I finally got cracking on it.

Well... I got stuck. The front ruffle was giving me a hard time, and I could not figure out what to do. Like usual when I have sewing questions, I called my mom. Thank goodness she was available, and thank goodness she's a sewing guru, because she was able to help me.  We got on FaceTime, and she was able to help me puzzle out what I was doing wrong (I had two of the pieces backward). What did people do before all of this wonderful technology?  It makes me so happy that even though we're 1,000 miles apart, we can still craft together and (virtually) hang out while we sew!

After that issue was solved it was smooth sailing (or smooth sewing) and I finished it today during nap time.  Hopefully she likes it!

But seriously. She had better like it. Fickle girl...

I'll try to get a picture of her in it after she tries it on (and decides it is the best dress ever and declares that I am awesome).  Or maybe that's what will happen in my head. Oh well. :)

Happy crafting!
