Summer Girly Dresses!


That's what the girls and I did on Thursday. We Sewed summer dresses from pre gathered fabirc. Just a few seams and hems and they have these darling dresses. Josephine sat on my lap and helped me sew the seams. SarahAnn I let sit at the machine and sew. I helped her guide the fabric some but she did really well. I was proud of her.

at TTS we where challenged to post 10 things about us. So here are 10 things about sewing and me.

1. I learned to sew from my Mom at 4 when she gave me scraps and a needle and thread while she sews.

2. I won runner up in the adult category on a summer dress I sewed all by myself at 8 yrs old :D

3. I love the smell of fresh fabric being ironed.

4. I did a fashion show in highschool with my nieces wearing dresses I made them as gifts.

5. I sewed my niece a rag doll and wardrobe my senior year of highschool

6. I have 2 tubs of fabric waiting to be made into something

7. I helped my son sew a doll quilt for his little sister when he was 8

8. It makes me feel connected with the past when I teach my kids to sew.

9. Timothy is making bean bags this summer - hand sewing.

10. Sewing is relaxing and makes me feel peacful.
