LILYS REQUEST!

Hello everyone
 It's been a while i made a post. I keep promising to make more frequent posts but ... It doesn't seem to happen.
I want to try to make it a post a week. I hope I can do that.
Anyway,this post was inspired by Lily. My 5year old daughter. She requested for a dress with a jacket and I was excited to do this for her.
Most times when I sew ,it's because my interest was sparked with curiosity on making a particular vision I've created in my head about a finished work and i become moved by my ideas I would like to see manifest.

For her dress i used black cotton fabric and Ghana fabric called Kente.
Unfortunately,i didn't document the process but it's an easy dress.
When I was done with the dress and was fitting it on Lily she was like mommy it's nice but I want a dress and a jacket. I had to reassure her the jacket was next. 
When i finished the jacket ,it looked too plane so I decided to make a flower using colorful stones. She loved her dress. I also did. Here are a few pictures I took after church.
