That was all I needed to hear.
As soon as I realized I had a granddaughter named Scarlett I started stocking up on red fabric. So pulled some stretch velour out last night and made this little very easy dress from Ottobre magazine 1-2010.
Super simple as you can see with faced sleeves where you sort of twist it a bit like if you were making a bubble skirt. Also interestingly the gathering is all done by measuring a piece of clear elastic to the bottom of the piece to be gathered too, stretching it to fit, and straight-stitching it to the piece to be gathered and then attaching.
This method makes lovely even gathers and keeps that seam elastic which is an excellent idea for a knit garment.
I also make a sort of a purse to match, in honour of her mother who used to fill up my house with numerous little purses that always contained just a crayon and barrette.
Just so you know as I do all of this my mind is on my shirts and my wardrobe and the Selfish Sewer will return in the New Year.
In the meantime it's more felt food and socks.

Very cute little dress. And manages to also be practical for this time of year.
You have been busy! That dress is cuter than the diagram led me to believe. I'm sure she'll love it. BTW,in the purse, did you include the required crayon and barrette?
That dress is adorable and the shade of red is gorgeous - perfect!
