Postcards From Holland: The Birdie Knot Dress

When I'm productive, I'm productive! Here's what I made in three hours on Saturday night. I've been in such a sewing mood. The dress I made for Romania's school auction got my juices flowing. I've found great fabric on etsy.com.

This is a layered knot dress (instead of buttons, the straps are knotted through buttonholes) and ruffled capri pants. The hardest part is choosing the fabrics and what goes where.
