I am so excited and thrilled and a little star struck to have been invited on this fabulous tour!!

Sewing for me - Zippy Top!!

Sewing for me - Zippy Top!!

Wednesday, April 23, 2014

Is it silly that I'm nervous? Taking photos and especially POSTING photos of myself is just a little nerve wracking! Anyway, gulp, here goes.

One of my goals for this year was to sew more for myself. I've "experimented" in sewing for myself before. Meaning I've sewn stuff, without patterns, and it was always pretty much a failure. I've made a few skirts that turned out ok, but just... ok. So I was VERY excited when Kate came out with the Zippy Top pattern!

I maybe shouldn't even admit this... This is O's very first official Geranium Dress!! I know, I know! It's not that I haven't used the pattern before. I made these two Baby Geraniums here and used bits and pieces of the pattern, here, here and here. But for whatever reason I've never made the whole dress just for her. Now that I have I can see five more of these appearing in her closet. That is, once the days magically add about five more hours to themselves...
