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?
I love it! Yellow looks beautiful on her, and very springtime!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what else you make. You're getting me motivated to get back to my (mother-in-law's) sewing machine!
Very beautiful dress. I love the yellow on Sadie. I can just see the excitement and energy on her face! There is something very special about a homemade dress from Mom.
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow! I am very impressed by how quickly you managed to put it together, too.
ReplyDeleteI can just see a mother-daughter#1-daughter#2 set of dresses coming along soon!
Cam! I love your sewing and knitting posts :) As you know, I've also been feeling quite crafty lately. The dresses you made are beautiful! I want to take a sewing class so that I can at least mend things and put buttons back on, and ultimately learn to quilt. We'll see :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute yellow dress!
