Sewing project!

So, I almost forgot to blog about my sewing project I accomplished at the beginning of the summer....two little summer dresses for my girls. I re-learned earlier this year how to thread my ancient sewing machine, and to my amazement when I pulled it out to sew these dresses...I was able to thread it correctly, so about 3 hours later (with good friends and coffee), I was finished with my project, without even using a pattern. Patterns kinda stress me out, I'd rather do something where you measure your child, pin and sew. I'm pretty proud of myself for sewing something for my children... something I vowed I'd never do, especially growing up with a seamstress for a mother, who would continually tell me "I could make that for a lot less", every time I wanted her to buy me clothing! So I guess we do eventually become just like your mothers....which really, I am okay with:-) Next on list....drapes for living room!
