Girl M Graduates!

 Girl M finally graduated LPN school!  That was a long 10 months!  We are so proud of her!

Now to sewing!  Here is her inspiration Retro style nurse's dress she wanted.

Inspiration Dress
I had to Frankenpattern the dress pattern.  The main pattern I used was the New Look 6180.  I added a wide waistband, made a 3/4 circle skirt, wide waist ties to make a back bow and added inseam pockets!  Girl M Loved it!

Final Product


She was all smiles when she tried on the dress!


Try on-dress approved!

Girl M would not spend $80 on her graduation dress so Mom dress to the rescue!  $14.97 cotton sheet from Wal-Mart was perfect for the fabric choice.
