Since my bad news, I have been sad and not wanting to do anything other than making it through work. However, we are going to the circus to see Ringling Brothers Dragons tonight, and late Tuesday night I decided I wanted DD2 to have an outfit. So the fabric was bought yesterday, and made last night. There were 2 shirt casualties, learning to embroider on knit. And I ran out of time, so once again no ruffle for now and a quick hem. This is my first official outfit, as the princess one still needs a ruffle.

I am sorry to hear that you had been feeling sad. I hope things look up for you. The outfit looks great!
Picked up my serger today and found out that I had fabric waiting for me too ! I went to the Open house at his shop a couple of weeks ago and they had a contest where you had to guess how many inches were on the bolt and I guess 207 and it was actually 216. I got all 6 yards of fabric and don't have any clue what I'm going to make with it.

And when I got home, after grocery shopping, I realized that I don't have thread for my sergerhe didn't try to sell me some and I forgot when I was checking out. Guess I'll order some online. Where is the best place for cones ?
Congrats on winning the fabric. I am sure you can find a way to use it!
I apparently picked out a pattern for a simple looking dress that is not so simple to sew. Mother in law kept asking if I was sure it was a beginner pattern and then switched to she is sure it is not for beginners and she will find me a simpler pattern. I think I will see about one if the Carla c dresses![]()
I am sorry to hear that. In addition to the Simply Sweet, the Stripwork Jumper is also easy to make. However, the two dresses are highly similar that you can probably just get away with one of those patterns. Oh the Portrait Peasant is also quite easy too.
