I got this wild hair and decided to sew a dress for Ashlynn. Just a dress up dress. Nothing special. But you see I haven't sown in over thirty years. Even then I wasn't known for my abilities to sew. I was one of those people that when they wear something they have made, people look at it and go.... "oh.... you made yourself something.... wow... good for you. Well I have picked up right where I left off it appears.
What is wrong with this picture?
Look closely.
Can you see now? Yep, I sewed the bodice on to the wrong side of the skirt. See the side seams? Bummer. I don't know why the two pictures look two different colors. They were taken one after the other and in the same room, same lighting and everything. Anyway, I got it taken off and put back on the right side. I was adding the yoke to the top when the sewing machine kept breaking the thread. I don't know what I did wrong to make it do that. I stopped for the day and will wait till Kaitlyn gets back from her business trip to help me adjust the machine so I can finish. It's been fun, mistakes and all but I think I remember why I quit sewing years ago. I don't have the patience to do this. I want it finished 5 min. after I start.
We are winding down our trip here. We leave Aug. 6th for home. I am not looking forward to going back to the house. I have adjusted quite well to living and cleaning the much smaller motorhome. I am not looking forward to having to clean and dust a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house. Anyone need a house? I think I might just stay in the motorhome when we get to the "big" house. It feels more like home to me.
Later
