i have been loving navy and stripes of late. i also found this dress online and loved it. so armed with these two news muses, and a borrowed sewing machine, i set about making myself a dress that resembled the style of the mamie dress, but incorporated my current love of navy and stripes. i coerced nick to come to the fabric store with me, and finally settled on the fabric i wanted.
on a side note, the girl at the cash registered over charged me by $1.50 and nick wouldn't let me walk back three steps and ask her to fix it, he made out like i was the bad-ee in the situation. hmpf. anyway.
by no stretch of the imagination am i an accomplished seamstress. this is due to my short attention span and lack of commitment to patterns, but i gave it a go anyway.
i am half way through the process right now. hopefully by tomorrow night i will be done and the finished product will be on this blog. hopefully. so far so good. after my last sewing effort many years ago, i really had no where to go but up.
