Momma Can Sew!

For Christmas my mom got me a great sewing machine.  Within days I was at the fabric store and went a bit overboard.  I was just so excited to make something for Gabbi.  I like the idea of being domestic for her.

I picked out a simple project to get me started, it has been years since I had sat down at a sewing machine.  My goal was to sew Gabbi a cute dress or two.  After a good run at the easy reusable bag project and some time, I decided to take on the next challenge.  I was a bit ambitious and stayed up way too late but we had a dress!

I had found a pattern that was a cute A-style dress that could easily be a cute long top if she keeps growing like she has been.  Gabbi got to pick out the fabric. We went with two, one being the "test" dress, giving me a chance to work out the pattern a bit.

I must say I was pretty proud of the little dress, but the best feeling came when Gabbi saw it in the morning.  She was so adorable and showed such great excitement when she heard that I made her a dress.  I could not have asked for a better reaction.  Right away she wanted to put it on, we could not get it off the hanger fast enough.  The best line was, "Thank you for making me a dress Momma."  Melt my heart.  Totally worth making her the next dress.  I love her so much.

What a pose!

What a dress!!
