I spent ALL day Saturday holed up in my sewing den. I got the tops of 4 place mats for my mom done. Now I need to machine quilt and bind them. I've never quilted before, so I'm a little nervous about that.
I also whipped up the most adorable sun dress for Ally. The fit seems a little off in the armpits though. I can't tell if they need to be scooped out and deeper, or if the dress itself is too wide. She doesn't hold still long enough to really figure it out. Any ideas?


I have no idea what this pose is about.
I desperately wanted to sew some more last night, but it was, no lie 98 degrees in that room last night. I was dripping with sweat just fixing up a pillow for my sister. I sent DH a not so subtle hint that I want an AC unit for my sewing room for Mother's Day.

What a cute sundress! :) Thanks for linking up! My sewing room is upstairs and in the summer it's sooo unbearable that I never spend any time up there. I may have to make an exception this year though b/c I have a few projects in mind for summer clothes. :)
ReplyDeletelove it! and the poses, too. we don't get poses here, just cheesy grins.

ReplyDeleteIts from a New Look pattern - 6478. I just used bias tape to finish off the edges.
