Sew Patient

Grandma is being so patient while I work on her new dress. She wanted me to show you her pretty hat too.

Grandma has a collection of beautiful hats from Kat the Hat Lady.

Here is the hat I just bought her for Christmas.



Isn't it gorgeous?! Thank you so much Kat!



I plan to make a dress to match this hat too. It is Grandma's favorite color! :D


Hope you have a lovely day!

Clip Tuck and Tension

The dress pattern I bought needs a lot of adjustments. It is too big and too long. Casey makes her own patterns. So does Taru. Maybe I should too?

I began with the bodice of the dress. Poor Grandma modeled patiently while I pinned and poked to try get it to fit. Maybe I should get one of those dress forms? I think Grandma is getting tired of it all.

I had half the top sewn before I realized the bobbin thread was going loopy. Well, don't you know, right there in the instruction book that came with my machine, it showed there was a dial on top to control the tension! Sometimes, most times, it's good to read ALL of the instructions!

Maybe tomorrow I'll have something put together that looks a little better?

I'm going to bed now. It's too dark to sew anyway.
