The basic construction was easy, until I got to the straps. The spacing of these gets me every time. In the end it worked out and I like how they look. My daughter picked this red ribbon, I had planned on using the fabric I cut when creating the hem. I guess I'll use that for a hair accessory.
The red brings out the ladybug design and makes it extra girly, which is totally fitting with her personality.
The plan was for it to be shorter, but she requested I leave it longer as it made her feel like Belle from Beauty and the Beast. As you can see, she loved modeling it and would not take it off once the photo shoot was over.
Tomorrow night I have sewing class, so Day 3 of the challenge will be completed there. This means I won't post the results from Day 3 until Thursday since I'll get home late tomorrow night.
