Pink Toddler Dress with Overlay

This light, summery, dress was made for my granddaughter, Lily, for my eldest daughter's wedding in July.  The material is a plain dusty pink cotton, overlaid with a dusty pink gauze fabric. with a white flower print.  Two very small buttons were used for each of the straps.

Now Thanksgiving is almost on us, my thoughts are turning to Christmas and so I thought I'd make this crayon roll for the little girl next door (me having no children of the right age for it!).  It's almost finished, but I just need to find a fastener for the two buttons.  I made this following a tutorial from You Go Girl which you can find here: http://yougogirl.typepad.com/you_go_girl/2009/02/guess-what-today-is-no-its-not-my-birthday-nope-not-my-anniversary-groundhog-day-has-passed-and-valentines-isnt-yet-here.html

In this photo, you can see that I 'flattened' the bottom of each pocket.

A closer view of the main fabric used.  All the fabric came from Connecting Threads.

You can see the inside fabric in the following two photos

I think I'll try making one with ties next time, for a change.  I'll keep you posted.
