Mommy Made Dress #2- The Sunshine Dress

My dress making speed is getting quicker! The last dress took me weeks to make (it may actually have been months since I wasn't really keeping track). This one took three and a half nap times. I tried it on Sadie this morning and discovered that wearing the color yellow apparently makes her very, very hyper. She ran laps around the house in her new dress and I had quite a time trying to get a picture of the dress that wasn't blurred (and some of these are!). She did enjoy showing it to everyone in the house though! Here it is- Mommy Made Dress #2:

Ta-Da!

Sadie Speeds on By...

Today I promised myself I would work on some stuff for the shop instead of sewing, but my wire twisting supplies were hardly touched and I ended up cutting out the material for dress #3. I might have actually succeeded in my goal except Paul helped me out by getting a giant bin of fabric down off of a high shelf in the garage and from there on out I was pretty much hopeless. There were years of fabric in there. I even found a hideous red/orange/purple/black material that I vaguely remember thinking was beautiful back in the fifth grade. Thankfully most of what I found was much better (there was even a set of unopened double pointed 6mm knitting needles! Yay! It's like Christmas in March!).

Here's a hint of what's to come: Sadie will be ready for the 4th of July... I wonder if we'll spend it in the hospital welcoming Maggie to the world or if we'll actually get to see fire works this year?
