A Dress For Me!
May 13, 2011 § 4 Comments
A quick post to show you my homemade dress (and my bunions on my feet. nice.)! It’s a little summery number made from this pattern that I hope I’ll wear a lot in the crazy FL heat. My goodness. You would think I would get used to it, but no. I’m always saying “IT is SO HOT!” to everyone, like they don’t know it.
I love the way this pattern is designed. The side panel (seen in detail below) actually becomes the inside of the pocket. See:
And, here’s a view (photo by Georgie) without the mom-from-the-eighties belt.
Over-all, I think I like it. I used the red and white seersucker b/c I didn’t want to buy anything new, but I’d love to make it again with something else. Great for summer, if a tad too “ice cream social”.
Finally, a picture of some new chicks that were given to us today. We have become the place where people bring chicks they don’t want anymore. More eggs, I guess! I’m not sure exactly what breeds they all are, but I think the white one is a silkie. They’re fancier than our regulars, though (they have feathers on their feet!), and super cute at this stage. Crossing our fingers for no roosters!
that’s super cute! i want one!
that IS super cute! i want one too!
thanks Ellies!
Yea–something for you! I love it especially w/ a big chunky belt. Way to go on squeezing that in project in w/ all that you have on your plate! I marvel at that! I also am excited about the feathered feet chickens. They’ll be the fashionistas of the coop!
