We've driven past this door hundreds of times and we finally stopped for some pictures.
Look at the lines and textures and colors. Love.
The evolution of the old shirt dress. I post these creations here to tell you that you could totally make one of these. And I want Ruthie to see that I am applying the sewing tips she gives me (gathering in this case) 1. All you do is get an old shirt (its not that I'm totally tied to these old shirts but they're laying around, no trip to the fabric store, and this one in particular had the softest, nicest feel to it) 2. Lay the shirt down and then find another dress you like and lay it over and make a pattern of sorts (I draw right on the material which is probably totally wrong to do but it eliminates a step) You'll have to make it longer if she's outgrown the dress you are tracing (as is the case with mine) The beauty is that you already have the buttons from the shirt so she can get in an out. Also, you can choose to have the buttons in the front or the back. I did the front in this case. I made just a tank part this time then added a 3 inch band at the waist and then made a gathered skirt and then attached the gathered skirt to the tank part I made. Then whipped a little matching headband. Voila.
The pumpkin patch was so perfect this year.
Choosing the perfect one.
Where can I buy one of these?? It was this hill of tarp filled with air so you could bounce on it. Amazing!
Sometimes I want to write something really whitty and entertaining on this blog but by the time the pictures are up and i've journalled them I'm just ready to click publish now.
