Dress Maker
I finally made a dress for Charis! I have never made clothes before just diaper bags and little blankets but I happened to find a “super easy pattern†and figured how hard could it be. Well it could be pretty hard but with a little explanation and a lot of help from Brad (the instruction reader in the family) I made the dress. Nothing is perfect about it at all the buttonholes do not line up with each other and the hem is coming unraveled etc. but you have to start somewhere though and I must say that it was a good learning experience. I am excited to make the next dress for Charis and hopefully it will be a little closer to perfect. Charis wore the dress for the first time to her friend Drew’s birthday party and we posted a few pictures from the big day at Charis’s website.
Hey, sewer lady – you did a GREAT job on Charis’ dress. It’s so cute! How fun that you are learning to make such sweet things. – And what a blessing that your hubby is a directions reader.
Love, Me

I LOVED Charis’ dress! Will you teach me someday??? She looked like the epitome of a sweet little Southern girl.
You did a GREAT job!

I must say I never would have guessed that it wasn’t perfect. It’s just darling! And it probably helps that Charis is so perfectly adorable in it! Good job dress maker!

Joy- You did an amazing job, especially for you first time! The dress looks beautiful. I know Charis is going to love having a Mom who sews! I have always loved the fact that my Mom can whip up stuff for me! Keep going with it!
