Thank you
For all the dress encouragement. Amanda over at Bulldog Knits is so right about the Dress a Day blog. Amazing stuff.

I do need to tackle some sewing for me. It is so fun to sew for the girls, and they are so appreciative I need some of their attitude. Big-sis always talks about the things I make for her being full of “momma magic”. I need to wave that wand my way. Funny how it always seems easier to do for someone else, I am so much less judgemental…
My Nemesis for years has been button up shirts. I tried years ago, and in all fairness the pattern I picked was a bit baggy…I need some shape. I have a pattern in hand now…better shaping. McCalls 5138. My plan is to try it in some leftover calico, and tweek from there.
Of course my biggest concern is needing to carry around a fan to blow my hair like the model…

I used to sew everything I wore almost and the biggest trick to successful sewing is to be mindful of styles which DO suit you, it will make a world of difference. That and a good iron!!
The extra time to adjust the pattern to fit right is worth it. I think you can do it! The fabric was just sitting there, right?

I bought this pattern too! However, I’m scared to even start.
