Summer vacation has started and my days are now filled with trying to keep the girls busy without spending much $$, refereeing sister fights, and trying to get my work done in between all that. Yesterday, we started sewing lessons and the girls quickly got bored with it when they realized that they weren't going to get to wear their new creations within 5 minutes of cutting them out. So, they ran off and I managed to make something I can actually wear...a cute little nightgown. I haven't sewn a thing for myself in years. It was fun and I would like to make more things for myself this summer. I hope the girls will learn to enjoy sewing as much as I do.
No, I don't have a photo of the new nightie yet. I doubt I'll model it for the world to see here, but I will try to snap a pic soon. I'm on a mad hunt for a dressmaker's dummy now, so that I can fit and photograph human-sized clothing ;)
Sorry this isn't a very exciting or interesting update. I will try to get better as soon as I can get into some kind of summer schedule. This first week is usually kind of unstructured and unproductive.
OHH, can't wait to see the nightgown, sounds cool. :) If it wasn't for all of this friggen rain, we'd be outside. It'll get better. :)
ReplyDeleteOhhhh Shellie; I have a Joanne's dress form in storage (I paid a lot for it and it's adjustable!) and I never use it. Any thoughts on that? Would love to see your nightie. Girls will like to sew; they get it through osmosis like you did. You and I just love it MORE, like my Mother. Please resume soon! Love, Me
