~I have decided to include at least one word from the thesaurus in my posts.
Once upon a time I bought a pattern and navy blue fabric. I was going to make a dress. I put off cutting it out for a long time. I finally cut it out, and then put off making it for a long time.
I finally made it yesterday after a spurt of inspiration: If I make it, then I won't have to worry about it anymore!
What a great idea. I was determined to start it and finish it that night. I started it at 6pm and finished it at the grand time of 1:00am. I think I did a pretty good job on it, considering it was my first dress. I am going to make another better one later.
My machine. We got it for $15.00 from a guy who owns storage units. After a lot of oil and banging around, we finally got it to stop making funny noises.
The skirt portion all pinned up. I didn't think to take progress pictures until I was almost finished. Oh well.
Gotta love my red shoes.

So stinkin' CUTE! I love the red shoes with it~ kind of reminds me of Dorothy (Wizard of Oz) only WAY classier!
way to be amazing! :)
Excellent job. I saw you wearing it on Sunday, and thought, that's a cute dress. I didn't know you made it. You did a very good job. I like the scarf around the waist, and the red shoes.
I want your shoes. What is up with all the craftiness everyone's into lately??! Good job on your first dress. Looks great to me.
oops, that was me, not Mark. Although I'm sure he digs your dress and shoes too.
Its spring fever thats getting to us. Gotta get something done! I love my red shoes, makes me feel sort of whimsical when I wear them.
