we had a funeral to go to... my mother passed away & my 2 year old daughter didn't have a black dress, so i decided to sew her this dress...


i had just gotten this book: Absolutely A-Line by Wendi Gratz & decided i would use it for her black dress. i bought thick black corduroy & lining fabric & sewed a size 3 dress (the smallest size pattern in the book). my daughter even helped a little - she helped with the pins & i sewed this dress using the sewing machine & sewing table that my mother gave me... these are memories... it was therapeutic, i'm sure you know what i mean --- crafting & creating to help you get through difficult times...
