more sewing
This weekend was slightly productive in the sewing scene. I made this dress for Penelope yesterday and it was super easy. It literally took me maybe 2 hours to make. That’s from cutting out to sewing up the hem…plus a million interruptions and my indecisiveness with fabric and ribbon.
I used more of the 10cent cordurouy I bought at my dream garage sale and the ever popular polka dotted fabric. I have seen the dotted fabric in a lot of people’s projects and it’s fun to see how it is used. I’ve been holding on to my 2 yards since March and I am thrilled I still have a bit left.
I am happy with the results. My only disappointment is that the bias tape came undone after a morning of wear so I will have to fix that problem. I really do hate having to “fix” something. When I am done- I don’t want to go back to the project again. I suppose I am a perfectionist.
Here’s a shot of Ellie with the previous dress I posted on Friday. See how I need striped tights or something?! Still cute!
Okay, I am off to cut out a few more dresses.
