The Ms.Pacman Dress for Sew Geeky

I was on vacation last week and couldn't help but sneak onto blogger to check in on everyone. 

&I'm so glad I did!!

Did you guys know that Max California & Sew Chibi are doing a new series called Sew Geeky?

You probably do, huh.

Well, I was so frustrated that I couldn't create anything RIGHT THEN. 

So, when I got home my hubs and I sat down and looked at all the awesome new patterns I had won during the Fabric Matching competition. He looked through my fabric and threw out ideas (really great ones too!) & together we came up with an awesome design using the Ivy Dress from Peekaboo Pattern Shop . <--- click to visit their shop 

I won a 5 pack of patterns & it is what Lily picked for herself. <3

She's completely thrilled with it. 

The Ms. Pacman dress is made from knits. I've used that black and white striped fabric for so many garments. It's seriously 1/2 of my kids summer wardrobe? lol 

I used it for the bodice& the bottom is a black knit from Joann's. 

The FUN is in the skirt where I drew and appliqued the characters. It starts with Ms.Pacman eating her dots& she's chased by all the ghosts. 

Those guys were quite the task. I hand embroidered their eyes which took the longest. 

Lily was motivating me along the way. 

By motivating I mean asking me "If you work hard and tried your best tonight could you be done so I could wear it tomorrow?" 

Did I mention that she plays Ms.Pacman on her ipod? 

It was her 5th Birthday present& she loves it. Probably too much! 

I've downloaded games; some learning and some classics. 

Next I promised to put her favorite songs on it. 

For now I think the dress will suffice. She danced around for the photo shoot & I promised she could wear it tomorrow. 

Hope you all have a lovely night, 

I'm off to bed.
