I bought this fabric, a peachskin with butterflies on it, for a special someone with the intention of making it for her birthday, then when that passed, her mother’s day present, and then when that passed, it’s now a suprise in the mail gift. lol. Well…. At least it is finished before cold weather sets in. Pssst… If you know who this is for… don’t say a word……

It’s a 3/4 length gown with long sleeves:

It has crocheted edging at the neckline, scalloped front and gathered elasticized sleeves with a lace detail at the sleeves and bottom hemline.

This is a closeup of the sleeves. I love the way they lie and feel. There is a 1/4″ self-casing holding 1/8″ elastic. 1 inch down from there is a stretch lace.

Happy Belated Birthday, Mother’s Day and Just Because Day………………….
