I used to make lots of clothes for myself and the boys but haven't for years..........too busy stitching and patch working.
But I'm tired of clothes that don't fit, that are too long or too short ............So today I have dragged out a pattern and some fabric for a summer dress, which I bought quite a while ago. It helps that Nanna is visiting, and she has helped me make it fit.

It's coming back to me, but the zip is not as easy as zipper bags! I'm on a mission to finish today before Nanna leaves tomorrow.
My husbands workplace had a family day yesterday. Check out the wheels!

ReplyDeleteLovely fabric for your dress.
Looking forward to seeing your summer dress! Those boys look so tiny!! Haha.
ReplyDeleteI sooo hear you with the ill fitting clothes or being too long (never short on me lol) I plan on taking some dressmaking classes next year to rectify this.Can't wait to see your dress,pretty colour/pattern :) Barb.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you model your new dress. Is this the start of a new addiction? :)
ReplyDeletei am also thinking of going back to clothes making as i have trouble finding things that fit.Boy look at the size of those tyres,i wouldnt imagine that they are easy to change.xx
ReplyDeleteGreat Truck..Id like one of those for the farm!
ReplyDeleteI love dressmaking...but never seem to finish what I start! Why is that I wonder?
Do I have a short attention span? or do I just like starting things!...Anyway, your dress looks great!
Dress making is a wonderful idea Susan and what fun it would be to chose fabrics...I'm working on the zipper here for my purse! Those tyres are pretty huge ha ha! Have a great week xo
ReplyDeleteYour fabric looks fabulous Susan, I hope you will show us a photo once it's done!
ReplyDeleteHope that you are wearing the new dress as I write this. My dressmaking never worked out so I just sew straight lines now! The size of that vehicle is amazing. Who drives such a thing!
