Just to prove not everything I make comes out according to plan - well very little does actually - here's something I made/ attempted / failed at earlier. A dress for my youngest! I stopped half way through, suddenly aware of the futility of proceeding. We all had a laugh at Mummy's attempt at making her first dress, without measuring her child and without a pattern, just impatient enthusiasm. I say we all had a laugh, Youngest took her time.
I thought it was all going to plan, until I started sewing. I had used another dress as a template, but then with blind confidence thought I would improvise.
I also realised that whoever had the privilege of wearing this dress was going to look alot like a Toadstool.
So, I stopped and have packed away my sewing machine, until I have collected my dignity back off the floor. In the meantime - go on have a giggle - at least then I know all my hardish work will have been for something.

I think the dress is fantastic, you should be very proud of yourself :)
ReplyDeleteHow bizarre, I have done a post now on how I made my daughter's, yes you've guessed it, first dress !

aww she looks very sweet! You sound a lot like me, just going for it and hang the consequences! (when it comes to craft that is). And when things go wrong well you have to laugh.

Well frankly, I think the dress looks fine. She looks so cute in it. You sound like me, I've never liked anything I made....lol...

Hey now, there's nothing wrong with that -- it's cute and your little one looks totally comfortable! That's a success I'd say!!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't even dare make a dress, so I applaud you for what you managed - she does look cute! I am exactly the same with not really thinking everything through before I begin...
ReplyDeleteThere's a challenge for you on today's post on my blog, if you'd like to take it up!
Well, she's cute in anything!
