On My Own

I have sewn a few things in my life, but I am constantly getting help from more experienced sewers. Thank goodness Brynna only lives a few blocks away and is willing to come to my rescue when I'm in between a rock and a hard place.

I also only got a zipper foot for my sewing machine this past Christmas. It was a gift from my aunt and grandma. I am grateful to have it, especially since it was thrown away in the wrapping process. Thank goodness Michele noticed and dug it out of the trash!

For my first project I decided to make a dress for Kaylee since I'm pregnant anyway. I was very pleased with how it turned out. It fits, she can move, & she likes it. Triple success! I even made a matching bow for her hair assuming she lets me fix it.
I did all the sewing myself and only broke down twice to call Brynna. It was helpful to walk through the directions with a translator.

I must've flipped on some crazy switch because I have 6 more dresses lined up for Kaylee and Lydia.

  1. I don't understand how being pregnant makes it obvious that you're going to make a dress for Kaylee as your first project...

  2. I didn't want to get into making a dress for myself and all the patterns I have for myself are for when I'm not pregnant. So I'll make them when I'm better and can enjoy them.
