Dress Making 101



I enjoy sewing, but haven't made clothing since my days in 4-H.

I bought this fabric over a year ago, with the intent to make little girl dresses with it. I think the dresses are adorable, and I plan on making more.


I am giving these to a friend I work with at the hospital and I am working on a pair of pants for Memphis (they have airplanes on them, of course)!

Snow, Snow, Snow

Thirteen inches, to be exact. I am wondering where spring is, and if it will make it to South Dakota. We are expecting another winter storm on Saturday, right now the question is will it be cold rain or more snow...

Memphis went to the doctor today and heavy bronchitis/walking pneumonia is what we're dealing with at our household. Taking him to the doc was a joy, he was not feeling well, so he cried about getting weighed (we all have issues with the scales I guess) and about getting his temp taken (evidently under the arm temperature readings are painful).

Needless to say, Memphis did not get to enjoy the snow. He did get to walk in it while getting in the pickup. His biggest concern? The bit of snow that made it onto his finger, he did not want it on there. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what was wrong, and once the snow was off, all was well with Memphis.

I did take a picture of Memphis this morning, as I was getting some shots of the snow. He smiled nicely and said cheese, only because he knew he would get to see his photo on the camera if he held still...bribery is the best.
