Weekend sewing project – silent auction outfit

April 22, 2007

Well, I really, really hope that the size fits the winning bidder since it took me many hours to make it.  Here is the flier that I am putting up and then I will put the outfit on the auction.  Anya was not wanting to stand still for me, so those pictures aren’t the best.  It is pretty cute, if I say so myself.  I used a pattern for the underdress and then made the top dress from scratch.

  1. Unbelievable.

    Have I ever mentioned that you truly are my hero?

    Seamstress…photographer…mother…cook…wife…friend…

    I love it.

  2. Thanks so much ladies! I am pretty happy with how it turned out, but it was time consuming. It would have gone so much quicker if I could have just serged the seams, but I don’t have a serger.

    Alissa, I think my hubby would have issues with that, too…Kai would probably try it on just because it was something I make and since I make most things for sister… 🙂

    Lori, thanks for the lovely comment. 🙂

    Natalie, you are too sweet. 🙂

  3. Thanks Christina!

    As for my excelling at things…I’m a bit of a perfectionist. Shocker, I know! I am strong in both the left and right sides of my brain so I think that helps me a bit. In doing the patterns, I can envision the design and then do the math to figure out how to create it. I think being a perfectionist also is very tiring…I never get enough sleep! 🙂
