On Saturday, decided I wanted to sew Sadie a dress. Never mind the fact that the last time I had instruction in sewing was in my seventh grade home economics class, where the class assignment was to make a drawstring bag. I think my grade on that project was just average.
So, off I went to Walmart to look at fabric, but I chickened out and got totally overwhelmed. I left the store with cat litter. At least I felt confident buying that 😉
On Sunday, I decided I was just going to go for it and make Sadie a dress out of one of my t-shirts that was too small.
It always bothers me that I don’t know much about sewing. I’ve made my own candles, cheese, laundry detergent, sourdough bread, and more. I feel like sewing is a skill I need to improve upon and learn more about. I got to work and had a lot of fun and made a lot of mistakes and still don’t know what I’m doing, but Sadie ended up with a new dress!
I couldn’t help but add buttons because
- I have so many from all the button canvas art I’ve made
- They’re great at covering up bad sewing skills
- They’re just plain cute
Time will tell how Sadie’s new dress holds up in the wash, but I think I have a new addiction. I may or may not have started making her another dress 😉
Along with sewing, I’ve been doing lots of reading! Jimmy and I currently reading two books together and it’s nice to be able to discuss what we’re reading and encourage each other.
I’m sure you can guess which book I’m reading on my own, LOL! Also, the below links are affiliate links.
