In a foolish moment, I bought a pattern for a dress I thought my daughter could wear for Easter. It was cute. It was fairly inexpensive. I can sew - how hard can it be? I've made clothing before. Sure, it's only been costume items - a super-easy princess dress and some clown pants, but there are instructions, right? Then, delusions still firmly in place, I went one step further and actually bought the fabric. There was no turning back now. To make matters worse, I put off making the dress until tax time. Taxes trumped dress & I didn't start the thing until Thursday before Easter. How 
much time should one little dress take? I'll tell you. FOREVER! Technically not forever, since I actually finished it, but I think I went a little more gray while making it. Most of the gray was stressing over putting in the zipper, which I didn't think was part of the pattern when I bought it. I swear that little requirement showed up after I bought fabric. Really, I do. I'm proud to say that it only took one try to get it in & it looks fairly good for my first one since 7th grade home ec!Most importantly, my daughter looked adorable in her little dress Easter morning!
Being a dressmaker is much easier than being a quilter! Dresses are far more forgiving and they aren't as boring. Looks like you did alright. I'm sure your daughter loved it.
ReplyDeleteI have always sewn garments, curtains and upholstery. Never considered quilting because I am not that meticulous. Kids grew up and house doesn't need much anymore. Now I am quilting.
