Progress

.
This is how things always work in my "studio," inspiration always strikes while I'm in the middle of a different project. So even though my little birdie is sitting in my sewing basket next to the cheery polka dot & stripe fabric that will soon become new Addie threads, I have challenged myself to complete the dress I have unfinished. I really don't have far to go on it, just a ruffle and hem on the bottom. I just haven't felt like ironing and hemming 2 yards of ruffle! I got through that part tonight, and hope to get the gathering finished tomorrow. Now off to bed!

Projects

I have a few new projects underway and hope to post my progress here soon. Last weekend I was inspired after finding myself at a local children's boutique gawking at the price tags on their simple, but very cute summer dresses & jumpers. I've been in a baby dress making funk (aka: burn out) but happy to get my motivation back. Last night I embroidered a little birdie to incorporate into a summer dress for Addie. My inspiration for this dress actually came from a torn bed sheet that was headed for the trash. It is bright white & super high thread count--perfect for a summer dress and too good to throw out. How very Sound of Music-y of me.
