New Project

I want to find a dress pattern that works.
I am liking Mom Walton and the way she dresses.
Just a plain dress in pretty fabric.
Why don't women want to look feminine?
It's such a glorious thing.
To look nice, pretty, and feminine.
So, I got the pattern at Hospice thrift store....and the fabric at SPCA thrift store.
I think that's what I will do tonight.
Sew myself a dress.

With all the thrift store shopping I do, I should be able to find some *old* type shoes, too.

The pattern is very pretty!

For me dresses don't work too well because I'm quite a bit smaller through the shoulders than I am through the hips so dresses never fit me correctly. I mostly end up wearing skirts and tops.

But if you sew it yourself I guess you don't have to worry about things like that, do you?

Happy Sewing! (o:

I had to use a different piece of fabric......the other was not wide enough for the skirt. Strange piece of fabric......

I hope your dress is turning out very nicely. I do a lot of sewing, in fact I sew most of my clothes. It is very difficult to find modest, feminine clothing in the stores these days.

I look forward to seeing the finished product! I am sure it will be lovely.

The dress is done. All it needs is the buttons. It fit and the pattern I used is a keeper.

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
