We love our gloriously hot summer days!!
During the day, it's all a fabulous flurry of kiddie pools and sprinklers, watermelon and sunscreen, summer crafts and sidewalk chalk.
And when the energizers crash at night, then it's my sewing & craft time!
Who better to try new recipes and "patterns" out on but myself? Yes, it's such a sacrifice.
I feel like the king's wine tester. Mmmm.... good wine.
I made this necklace the other day, just because I needed a brief change of pace.
It had been too long since my last bead-string-delight.
Then back to sewing!! I got this red material, with smocking at one end, on sale the other day. It just looks so summer-y, so I made myself a dress. Really, this was the simplest thing I could have done with the fabric. I just sewed it up according to my measurements, hemmed, and attached straps.
And the new little apron... which I actually made for The Artist. She can wear it next. :-)
You amaze me! Martha Stewart watch out! One of the things in my life that I regret is that I never let my mom teach me how to sew.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet video too!
Have a beautiful weekend!
Wow, Wendy! Those look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBrook! Surgery? The incisions sound like the laparoscopy surgery I had. Same thing? Yes, wear dresses, or pants with a waistband that are a size too big (not necessarily elastic!)
ReplyDeleteLeslie, thank you! I do love to sew...now... but I never showed a lot of interest as a kid either.
Thanks, Jules. See you tomorrow!
I thought you were out of town!? I like the dress :)
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteThe red sun dress that you made is just darling. There are so many things that a smart, creative young woman can do when she has a sewing machine--and motivation.
Loved Trevor singing my verse for each day. What a precious family you have. Love Mimi
Everything is SO beautiful. I have a dress that looks very similar to that one, but I didn't make it, LOL. Love the necklace, love the apron, love, love, LOVE Trevor singing!!! :0)
