Taking time for me
Jun 09
I took time off today. I took a half day off and had a great time with my friend Natalie. Natalie is getting married in September in Hawaii. She’s been trying to decide what to do about her dress for the wedding and what she wants to wear. The other day, OK, last week we found the pattern for the dress she wants made. She’s too nervous to make it so I told her I would. I haven’t had a reason to sew something fun in a long time. Ok, I know some of you may be thinking I’m nuts. Don’t worry, it’s an EASY dress. I mean it’s got something like 5 pieces to it and it’s only a 2 1/2 yard dress if that tells you anything. SO today we went to Fabric Depot to scout out fabric because I’m hoping I can cut the dress out while I’m in Washington because my mother has a great place to lay it out. SO back to the story. we found this beautiful material that’s got embroidery on it, it’s daisies. There are a bunch on the bottom edge and then they get less and less flowers as you go up the material. Of course it’s a pretty penny $50 a yard but do not fear, we happened to have gone when it was a 40% off everything day. It was awesome. I ended up getting material for a simple quilt for my bosses baby that she’ll be having in the fall. Oh, back to the dress, so we got the dress fabric and everything that goes with it. I can’t believe I’m sewing her dress. I’m pretty excited about it. Wish me luck..
