Purdy Birdie

6 comments

I have been glued to my computer for so long working on various designs/projects, that I feel like I haven't made much time for actual sewing. I've had some clothing designs swimming around in my head, so I decided to pull them out of their
soggy puddle (my brain), and make them. Here is the 1st prototype of my apron top using my original "Sweet Birds" fabric.
My model is very pleased that she has the perk of getting to keep this one!

So bright and cheery, it makes me happy.

Still Recovering

10 comments
There are not many times in my life that I have felt it was necessary to pull an all nighter. And looking back, none of those times was it at all necessary, or worth the pain of recovery. Oh well, that didn't stop me from doing it again, this time to make Easter dresses for my girls, and of course a matching tie for my boy. "They won't always allow me to dress them in matching clothes", "I still have a few more days to do our taxes", "I really want to feel like a walking zombie for the next few days", these are the excuses I gave my husband as he scolded me yesterday morning.



And of course with all the morning craziness and chocolate binging, there wasn't time for pictures till after church. Thus we have slightly disheveled girls, and the tie had been chocolate smeared and removed by then. Oh well, Sophia felt beautiful and this is the girl's first time being so matchy. Hopefully not their last. Both dresses are my own designs, and were made with a pair of recycled cotton pajama pants and bits of designer fabric. I like how they turned out. zzzzzzz Was it worth it? zzzzzzz
