I AM ALWAYS A BIT NERVOUS WHEN I SEW WITHOUT A PATTERN, PLUS THE FACT I HAVE NO MODELS WHO LIVE CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ME TO TEST FIT AS I GO. I KNEW THE LOOK I WANTED, AND I DIDN'T HAVE A PATTERN FOR IT, AND SINCE I LIVE 2 HOURS FROM THE NEAREST FABRIC STORE, I DECIDED TO MAKE MY OWN. I DESIGNED A PATTERN FOR THE SKIRT AND SASH. I ALSO WANTED TO TEST OUT SOME "SEMI-HOMEMADE" ITEMS TOO. SO I DECIDED TO EMBELLISH A PURCHASED PLAIN TOP. THE RESULT IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAD IN MIND, I LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT. THERE IS ALSO A BLACK PETTISKIRT UNDERNEATH TO GIVE A GIRL SOME TWIRL POWER.
ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO, WE WENT INTO VEGAS TO MEET UP WITH HOLLIE AND HER FAMILY FOR A QUICK VISIT ONLY A FEW HOURS. WHILE I WAS THERE I USED THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIT THE SKIRT TO MISS ADDISON, WHICH WAS SUCH A BIG HELP, THANK YOU ADDISON FOR BEING MY LITTLE DRESS FORM.
WELL, A COUPLE DAYS AFTER OUR VEGAS TRIP, EVERYONE AT OUR HOUSEHOLD WAS SICK, SICK, SICK, SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I DIDN'T GET ANY SEWING TIME. FINALLY YESTERDAY I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK TO IT. I HAVE ONE COMPLETELY FINISHED AND THE SECOND ONE ALMOST 3/4 OF THE WAY FINISHED. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM ON MY TWO ADORABLE LITTLE MODELS.
SO, AVERY AND ADDISON, BAMA WILL TRY AND GET THESE OUT IN THE MAIL THIS WEEK.
REMEMBER, BAMA'S FEE IS A PICTURE OF YOU WEARING THE OUTFIT.
I AM SO GREATFUL I HAVE YOU TWO LITTLE CUTIES TO SEW FOR, TOO FUN.
