Oh “Sew” Sweet!

 

On Monday I was very excited to get some sewing done…I haven’t done any for a while, and after going to JoAnn Fabric’s last Friday (and buying more fabric, of course!) I wanted to SEW! 

  The dress I was working on happened to be for Charissa.  Kind of as a practice to see if I could get a certain pattern to work.  I had seen this pattern at JoAnns and liked it very much.  But alas!  That particular JoAnns is a small store, and did not have that pattern in stock!

So I found one kind of like it at home, enlarged it, and attatched a skirt and shirt to make a dress.   Charissa wears a size 8 and the pattern was a size 4 so it needed enlarged a lot!  The first one was the wrong size for Charissa, a little too small.  So that one is going on Etsy 🙂   It is just like the one I am about to show you, only a smaller size.  Once I finally figured out how to enlarge the pattern, it went a lot quicker.  I finally finished the dress at about 9:00ish Monday night. 

 Then yesterday evening I took pictures of Charissa in her new dress 🙂  I love this dress because it slips right over the head and is so simple but pretty!

 We recently got a new camera and have been playing with the ‘panorama’ feature.  I was taking a picture of the field behind us, and then took these of Charissa 😀

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here she is saying, “Are we done yet?” 😀

 

 

I took some of her climbing our apple tree…

 

 

…and hanging upside down out of it!

 

 

She ran up to the peach tree and started swinging on one of the branches.  I said, “Don’t climb that tree!  It’s too little!”  Then I said,  “Hey wait!  Stay there for a minute, you aren’t supposed to do that, but stay there ’til I get your picture!” 😀

 

She tried covering the lense, but as you can see, I still got her picture 🙂

 

I love this one!

 

Do you have a little sister who wants to match my sister?! 😀  You can buy a dress very much like this at our Etsy shop, Farmgirl Treasures.
