Sew fun
I have finally overcome my lifelong fear of sewing. Thanks to a few key catalysts (nice deluxe sewing machine with detailed instructions) and mentors (you know who you are), I have entered the limitless realm of cloth-creations. Clarissa and I are making summer dresses for our girls and as we get further along in the process, I find myself looking ravenously for new sewing projects or new ways to individualize the current ones.
Why was I so anti-sew as a child? No one knows. At least it's not too late now. Next up, piano lessons. (Don't roll your eyes, mom. You know you can only lead a stubborn donkey to water...)

Oh, you are just making me so happy out here in Dallas. Keep stitching, baby. Doing it with friends is even better. I used to say I didn't dress my kids, I decorated them! Have fun. Lucy's teeth are lovely, by the way...
oh, that dress is just adorable, great job!
What a precious creation--and amazing for you first one! All those years of trying to teach you to sew when you had no interest whatsoever!! You go girl! Lucy is certainly good incentive!!
Congrats on that dress Mamie! So cute. I too have a fear of sewing, a fear of failure. Maybe I will have to try!
Congratulations Mamie on your big step! I am so happy that you have overcome your fear and will now hopefully get warm and fuzzies whenever you see that big honkin machine! Keep posting your creations. . .
Well now that I see what a wonderful seamstress you are perhaps now is the time to mention that I am having a girl in July....
Who needs a closet of gymboree?? That dress is so cute!! I am eternally impressed!
Cute dress! I love the fabric and especially the bow!
