I finished the dress. Thankyou for all of the encouragement - it is good to know that I am not the only one that has days like these!
This little dress had more help than meters of fabric.
Ingrid saved me after my cutting out disaster with some left over fabric that she had (I think that we bought it at the same time!)
Novy gave me step-by-step instructions (Novy you really must do a tutorial with pictures) Thankyou so much.
And Cindy (a dear friend in Wagga Wagga) came to the rescue and dropped off her brand new machine that has sat in its box for two years and has been used once (maybe twice to sew on badges on a uniform!) I will be making the little men in her life some pants as a thankyou.It is a six month size and will fit her for a while - I tried it on Baden for good measure and he swims in it! Now all I have to do is finish the knitted cardi and it can be in the mail!
Kylie, looks great and well done after all the mishaps
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the dress was a community effort!
ReplyDeleteHi Kylie! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I tried to email you using the address attached with your message but it just kept bouncing back to me. I got the colour catcher sheets from Safeway but I am sure most big supermarkets would stock it. Very cute little dress by the way!
ReplyDeleteahw a dress with a story, and what a cute little dress. I'm so glad you got back onto the horse ;-) and what and encouragement of people helping you to get on again ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics, beautiful pattern. So glad you got some help and finished it. Love that it is reversible.
ReplyDeletewhat a super cute dress. really gorgeous.
