Ansley's New Favorite Dress

Sparkly pink knit fabric with a full circle skirt. I love the way it swishes and I love that it fits pretty easily over her head but doesn't gape at the neck when it's on. Binding the sleeves was a little bit tricky; I'll have to cut the binding strips a little bit larger next time.

I love her face when she's concentrating.

I love Ansley hugs and look(!) we kind of match. I'm wearing one of two knit circle skirts I made last week. I staged an intervention for myself b/c I wore the same blue knit circle skirt five times last week. Now I might need circle skirt therapy b/c these were skirts number six and seven, not counting the circle skirt on the bottom of my Baja Dress and not counting the two that I have fabric for but haven't made yet. It may or may not get its own post.
