Some Sewing

I have been assured that my sewing posts do not bug y'all out there in blog land. Sometimes I am afraid to blog about sewing because I think y'all will think I am a nerd. But I promise! I'm not, ask my friends. Here are the 2 things I have sewn this week.

A Halloween skirt for the Bear.


A knit dress for me. I LOVE knit dresses, I think I will make 5 more just like this in different colors. PS - please excuse the hair and workout clothes under my dress. We rode bikes tonight.

I was thinking while I was finishing my dress about the first time I remember sewing something. It was at my Mimi's house, where many of my most fond memories took place. Mimi has a sewing room TO DIE FOR in her bedroom. It has tons of cabinets, counter space, and even an iriong board that pulls out of the wall. When I grow up, I want a sewing room like that. I don't remember how old I was, or where Matt was.... but Mimi and I decided to sew a dress for a Cabbage Patch doll. It was blue with white dots, had a sash, and bloomers (from what remember). Mainly what I remember is that I kept sewing wonky lines, and that the seam ripper and I really got to know each other. Now, if it were up to me, I would have just left the wonky lines. I dont take anything apart unless it is TERRIBLY wrong. For instance, on the blue dress that I made, I put the skirt on inside out... I ripped it off and started again. Had it just been a wonky line, I would have left it... or sewn a straight line over it. I am lazy. Anyways, we finally finished the dress. Maybe one day she will send me a picture so that I can show y'all what it looked it. I am still very proud of it, even though I am sure that I didn't sew MOST of it.
