An Impractical Autumn Dress For Ruth
Ruth has grown out of most of the dresses that I've made for her so recently I cut out a bunch of new ones for her to wear through the fall and winter....but then I also made her this one.... It's perfectly impractical in every way for our autumn temperatures. (And it's totally Cindy Brady.) But it is so perfect for those chubby legs and arms that I couldn't resist! The dress is from a 1960's Simplicity pattern and made with Penny Rose fabrics. And even though I'm in love...I will start sewing ... View the Post

A Flower Dress.
Every year it seems I am squeezing in a last minute First-Day-of-School dress. Maybe it's the fact that I procrastinate because somehow I am wishing that summer would stay forever.....I miss the carefree summer days already. So, at 11 pm the night before school started I was finishing up the hem of the dress...and had it pressed and hung up just in the nick of time for the next morning. ... View the Post
