\"recital-dress1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Good morning! We had such a jam-packed weekend, it’s actually a relief to have the quiet of a weekday routine. What with a school ice skating event, K’s first ever piano recital, a holiday cookie party (which was as drool-worthy as it sounds) and an impromptu sleepover at our house, I helter-skeltered all weekend.<\/p>\n

\"recital-dress4\"<\/a> \"recital-dress3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also whipped up a recital dress because c’mon, how could I not? I received this velveteen fabric in a peachy-pink from my mom years ago, and until this past weekend, I wasn’t too inspired by it.<\/p>\n

\"recital-dress2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The color is truly lovely on K, and I should make her more clothes in this hue. The whole dress is self-drafted and although the hem is slightly puckered, overall, I’m happy with the outcome. K wanted the dress to sweep the floor, but I felt it wise to avoid any tripping accidents during the recital, so I figured tea length would be a decent compromise.<\/p>\n

\"recital-dress6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This fabric behaved exactly like a knit, so I treated it as such. The dress is shimmery, fancy (thanks to the added silver lace trim that never got used for Halloween) and comfy. What’s not to love?<\/p>\n

\"recital-dress7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here she is, smiling nervously just after she finished her performance. \u00a0We were so proud! The lighting was horrible, so this was the best I could do, but I love how she accessorized with her “lucky ring necklace”. I thought of including in this post the video of her playing “March” by \u00a0Tchaikovsky (or, as K likes to joke “Chai Coffee”), but K begged me not to.<\/p>\n

\"recital-dress8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Actually, I made two recital dresses because I was gripped with indecision the night before. That was serious fast sewing I executed Friday night. This one is self-drafted as well and I made it first. You can see that I used the same silver trim — I wish I’d gotten some photos of her in it because it’s a sweet frock. I was sure that K would choose the blue dress, but a niggling voice told me I should also sew up the peachy fabric. I’m so glad I did, because she looked so pretty and happy in it:<\/p>\n

\"recital-dress5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I hope you had a fun weekend, friends!<\/p>\n
