My sister gives the best presents.


Look what Leslie sent me for my birthday.
(I'm turning 30! next month.)

I've always dreamed of owning a dress form.
I just love it.
I feel so official now.
Do you want me to make you a dress?
Because I can.


I think this green dress will be my first project.
What do you think, Les?
It's very you.
(And really, it's the least I can do.)

  7. The dark pink of the dress form complements the blush pink of your sewing room perfectly. I look forward to seeing the talented results of your future sewing projects.

  8. I've been checking in with your blog ever since the SuperMom Series! And I am a friend of Josie's! What a small world in bloggy land.

    Would you be willing to cut a second pattern and mail it to me? I would be willing to pay for your time and the shipping! I have searched the internet high and low for this same pattern and have come up empty handed. I have some dupioni silk in Champagne that I think would look great in the short sleeve dress! My email is davenapril@aol.com.
