Little Women

I don't know if you noticed, but Sandy was not smiling when I photographed her in her new outfit. She took it right off and tossed it aside. She said it was "too babyish" for her.

I think it was the little bow that set her off. "Bows are for babies," is what she said. "I want a grown up dress. One I could wear on a date!" Grandma was in tears. She just couldn't bear the thought of Sandy going out with boys.

Shelly was happy. She loves to play dress up. She tried on Sandy's outfit and it fit her nicely. She LOVES the little lace collar and the bow!

So to keep the peace... Sandy got her dress. Grandma got a robe to wear so she won't be humiliated while I work on her white dress.



The men around here are no where to be found. There is always drama when you live in a house full of little women.

Hope you have fun today!

Sew it Goes

I'm still playing with my new sewing machine. I tried making another outfit for Grandma. I like the little capri pants with one of the decorative stitches my machine makes.

The top is going in the bin. I may make a blouse to match the pants instead?

I've cut out a few other things. I'm starting the white dress over. It is just too big. Then I'm going to try to make a red jogging outfit with a hooded top. I have YARDS of this red t-shirt fabric!

Here is Grandma's Valentine's Day apron in progress. Love this little heart fabric!

For some reason, sewing makes me sleepy. I'm going to go take a nap and then get back to work.
