I'd like to apologize to any residents living in Utah county. You may be looking out the window at a grey cloud covered sky and be blaming the inversion for the bleak scenery. But you shouldn't blame the inversion.You see...it's not really an inversion at all but a tapestry of profanity woven by myself as I tried to figure out how to make my sewing machine do button holes. I'd never done them on my machine AND IT WAS REALLY REALLY HARD!!!Hence my metamorphosis into a drunken sailor.But I ... View the Post
A new pattern…and a new dress.
After our pattern field trip this last week, I have been itching to start one. So, I chose this one. (I tried to put the picture in, but blogger is definately having issues....so you'll have to click the link.) I am doing style D---with A sleeves.

Christmas Dress, Part Deux
Yes, I am on Christmas dress number 2....this time around the family is going to be in lime green, charcoal gray and cream. There is a story...I want to use the outfits again for a big family function in February (Isaac's adoption finalization-yippee!) and decided it was better not to make the colors so Christmasey.I made the same shift dress but this time changed the top up a bit. I have been in love with these dresses from Katiedid (I am sad that a crazy ruined her blog for everyone....she ... View the Post
A Christmas Dress
I made Hannah a Christmas dress...but then I changed my mind on family Christmas colors (am I indecisive or what?)....so this is just the first of two. I wanted a vintagey feel so I made a simple shift dress and added a strip of vintage 1950's lace that I found at a garage sale this summer to the collar. I love the simplicity of it. ...
