Wish List

I am in love with this dress:

It is from Bowden.

The funny thing is I wouldn’t hesitate to sew something like this for the girls, but I am totally chicken when it comes to sewing for myself. I’ll wear stuff I knit all the time, but somehow sewing on a bigger scale I see every flaw.

Which is a total shame, since I will not have $128 for dresses any time soon.

    I thought I just posted a comment, but I didn’t see it pop up.

    Ah, ha. I don’t think wordpress likes html links. *sigh*
    Okay, here it is again minus the nice looking links, plus the long, messy looking links:
    Do you read Erin’s A Dress A Day blog?
    She wrote a recent post about picking a “first dress” pattern. She also wrote back in Feb. about her current obsession with shirtdresses. Maybe find a fabric you like that’s relatively inexpensive and give it a shot? I know you could do it! :)

    *If this goes through I’m really going to be stumped–it wouldn’t take it with any kinds of links at all! *frown*

    That is an adorable dress! I’ve never been very successful sewing myself things to wear either.

    I think you could do it. I love my sewing machine, it just plain makes me happy. I’ve been itching to get things sewn around here too.
