Added bonus, you can actually wear it instead of tossing it like you'd do with real muslin. I think it's awesome that you set a timer - that's EXACTLY what I do, too! It's a great way to keep from getting overwhelmed and to make sure you get other stuff done, too. It's so easy to be consumed by your hobby!Twill Jillhttp://www.braverhomesandgardens.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217940134822691415.post-21102829482424265242010-07-06T11:57:29.123-05:002010-07-06T11:57:29.123-05:00The dress is pretty and it comfortabel and perfect...The dress is pretty and it comfortabel and perfect for summer.

I'm very proud of you (and envious) for learning to sew as an adult. I also did the 8th grade garment, but mine was never completed. I never appreciated my Mom's talent for sewing...couldn't be bothered. Now that she's not able to mend, sew, embroider, etc., I hate to see her machines go to rust. I'm seriously considering making my ebay room a sewing room. I had better hurry or my old fingers will be too stiff!! <br /><br />Congrats on the beautiful dresses!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06162560530522470241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217940134822691415.post-58357198527917384272010-06-30T17:15:57.729-05:002010-06-30T17:15:57.729-05:00Cute dress, I love to repurpose sheets especially ...Cute dress, I love to repurpose sheets especially old vintage ones.

Then 5 more, and so on. <br /><br />And good sewing for you. Zippers have always been beyond me. I look for patterns with no zippers, collars and hopefully no set-in sleeves.carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04346285464750146290noreply@blogger.com
