| Miss J's fabric |
Before the sun set on the halter dress finish for Miss K, I cut out most of the dress for Miss J. She chose the fabric which didn't surprise me as she likes animals. If the fabric had been printed with butterflies, it would have been even better. Monkeys, however, are good too!
As you can see, I had little waste! The song, "Ten little monkeys jumping on the bed," ran through my head as I worked on this project!

I used a piece of green for the contrast fabric. Both fabrics were gifted to me from a friend. The green thread that I stitched the contrast fabric was a find from the guild free table many years ago. I've used it once or twice; but, it usually wasn't close enough in value for the project I was stitching. For this project, however, it was perfect!
It wasn't long before it too was ready and waiting to be gifted to the girl! I used about a yard of fabric. I have now used 16 1/2 yards from my stash and I have 33 1/2 yards to go to achieve my goal of a net loss of 50 yards from my stash this year.
This was goal number 14 on my 3rd Quarter Finish-A-Long
list and my second finish for the quarter!

I was most tickled with Miss J's response. Below is a photo of her. I loved how well the boots accessorized her outfit. The dance move pose for the photo was awesome as well! Oh. . .the dress fits great!
