Well while the kids were gone I had hoped to get so much sewing done. That's all I wanted to do. I was able to get a dress for the baby done and one for myself. My kids were gone 4 days only and my oldest daughter got hysterical and wanted to come hone. She was missing her baby sister too much. So my mom came and stayed a week and a half with me. Wow, love her, but was so glad to see her depart yesterday. She is a SUPER NEAT FREAK. So this whole time was spent cleaning everything, and I mean everything, not sewing like I had hoped. My driveway, patio, garage, house, attic you name it. I feel guilty to let her do it alone, so I helped the 1st week and was on jury duty this week. Thanks be to god I was selected to be a grand jury alternate. So that meant only 2 days. Monday and Thursday. I was done by 10am both days. Woohoo! But I have a house so clean inside and out it's GREAT and I do LOVE my mom to death and love spending time with her! She is going thru a really rough time right now with my brother, so she was so happy to be here and distracted.
So here and the things I did sew. I also made the burp cloth, but not this week.
This pattern is Simplicity 3509, easy as pie to make.
This pattern is Very Easy Vogue V8379 wrap dress and boy was it easy to put together.
I LOVE the front of this dress!!! It doesn't slouch and my top doesn't hang out.
My oldest trying her hand at needlepoint.
Up next is something for my older daughters, something fun. I'm still trying to start my smocking, it's so scary to me.
Tomorrow I'm going to see Dave Matthews Band. I'm not a huge fan, but it's free and why not.

I love the dresses! I wish I could sew. My kids know that I can barely sew a button, and so when anything needs mending they ask me to call Miss Amber (our friend down the street) so she can fix it for them. Sad that my kids already recognize that I am needle and thread deficient. And as for the clean house - I'm jealous. Send your mom this way please! I could use the help! :)
Wow! That dress is amazing! I wish I could sew like that or even sew at all for the matter.
Love that shirt! what is the fabric you used!
How old is the little one who is needlepointing? I LOVE to needlepoint but never thought to have daughter do it!
