sewer's itch.

have you ever suddenly gotten the urge to sew just as you are heading to bed? if you don't have a sewing machine or a stash of fabric you may not know what i am talking about....

last saturday after prayers had been said, the little ones were snug in bed and things had been tidied up from the day, i decided that m.j. "needed" a new dress to wear to church the next morning. it was a sudden thought like deciding you "need" a blizard before going to bed or you "need" to paint your family room a new color before your guests arrive the next day.


so i made this simple little dress without a pattern, and because i {or my children} misplaced them, without fabric scissors. while it turned out looking lovely, looking closer would have given you a differing opinion. up until now, my sewing experience consisted of a few pillows, curtains, hemmed pants and stuffed nativity set that i made for ozzie when he was 1.

Soooo, the seams started to fray and the pockets began to fall off... however, it made it through sunday school and it looked darling on her and it was blue instead of pink.


the only other reasons why it is gracing this page on our blog is simply because it is the first dress i have made her and she's not old enough to tell me she doesn't like it.
