I feel bad for reader’s looking for raw milk articles, ferments, and handcrafted butter or bread. Those posts are there, please search if that is what you are looking for. As of late, though, I have re-discovered my love of sewing. It satisfies the creative and practical side of me in one fell swoop. I can’t help it, I love it. Before kids I sewed, quilted, painted (oh my poor paints that are likely crusty with my dear brushes at their side), and all sorts of creative endeavors. No schooling or training on it, just a love for it. Sorry dear readers, but I promise with spring on the horizon the food related articles will return. Meanwhile, you have sewing projects, homeschool, and Adventures in Daddyhood to look forward to.
All that to say, I made two more dresses that I LOVE! The worst of it is that I have to send them away, but I can cope. The best of it is they are going to the sweetest twins that were adopted the same time my girls. Really, what are the odds? We actually met up at the Hanoi Embassy without really knowing each other would be there. We have kept in contact and it is great to have someone in a similar boat to talk to. Her girls are a month older than mine so it is like a heads-up on things. This family has been so gracious to us in the past I wanted to do something for them. Long story short, she ordering some amazing Heather Bailey Fabric (Pop Garden) and I made these…I hope you like them!
the pics do not do them justice…flash (obviously) and me in a hurry
Those dresses are adorable!
Oh, so sweet!
They’re adorable 🙂 Would love to have the pattern – haven’t sewn in ages but your dresses give me the hankering tosit back down at the machine.
Did you split the straps? I am in love with that!!! They turned out so adorable!
