While looking at fabric options for a sundress for me, guess what happened? My Sweet Pea enters my sewing room and sees all my possible fabric sections
Conversation:
Sweet Pea - What's up?
Me - Planning my next projects for summer.
Sweet Pea - Oh this is pretty. Can I get a dress please?
Me - Well, okay. You sure you want this fabric?
Sweet Pea - Oh yes.
Me - Okay then. What style would you like?
Sweet Pea - Anything, Mama. You pick. Thanks.
Sweet Pea leaves the room. Me feel like what just happened? I wanted that fabric for me. Lol
Anyway, Sweet Pea got a new dress in the middle of me planning a new dress for myself. Got to appreciate a daughter who allows her mother to pick, choose, and sew clothes for her.
I made it easy on myself. I selected a pattern that I've used before. Yet again. Lol Simplicity S1803
For this version, I used a different bodice and sleeve style. I also lengthen the dress by a few inches. Unlike before, I kept it simple using the instructions, no beading or tulle. Just a simple sundress
The fabric is a stretch cotton twill that I ordered from Mood Fabrics several years ago. This color is not available any longer, but Mood does have a similar print on a white background available, 307111.
Needless to say, she likes it. What not to like? Anyway, I made her two matching masks out of the leftover remnants.
So that's it for now. Short and sweet.
Parting Shots: Beautiful flowers in Veterans Memorial Park. This is one of our favorite places to take pictures of my handmade treasures.
Happy Sewing!
