Weekend Creation

It had been a couple of weeks since the kids got a break from Mom and Dad.

So, Saturday, I packed them up and shipped them off to Nannah and Papaws.

The afternoon was quite.

Adam got a nap.

I began work on a dress.

I could see it in my head.

But, I had nothing to go by.

No pattern.

No little girl to measure for an exact fit.

I really should write her measurements down.

She just grows so stinkin' fast!

Anyway, I knew what I wanted to make, I just wasn't sure how to make it.

I took some fabric bought on a last minute whim.

From Goodwill.

And I cut.

A few undecisive hours later, I was thrilled.

Adam picked out the embroidery color.

I told him if he picked a color, I would use it.

I have to admit, when he handed me the spool, I wasn't sure.

 I was really tempted to put it back and choose something else.

I am so glad I didn't!

I love the way it turned out!

Can you believe this was made from a 99 cent pillowcase?
