I've started a series called 'How to (insert project here)...and Save the World'. When I post or feature projects that are upcycled/repurposed in nature, they will proudly carry this title so you quickly know that there are good things ahead - not only for you but for our planet! Check out the previous posts:
How to make a wall garden and save the world
How to use wooden pallets and save the world
This post highlights a project I tackled on Mother's Day...and I had the most enjoyable day! You see, I have convinced myself that I cannot sew. Turns out...I CAN sew...just not very well. But my daughter doesn't seem to mind - and for that I'll be forever grateful!
Beware...if you CAN sew REALLY well, what you are about to see may be disturbing. So I ask for your forgiveness in advance.
If you can't sew, like me, I hope you will be inspired enough by this to give it (or something else) a try!
Well, there were several mistakes along the way...but I am thrilled with my 'not quite perfect but perfect for me!' summer dress for my little chica.
Until next time...
Michael

So cute! I found you through Tip Junkie, but I'll definitely be sticking around!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute and sassy picture of your daughter. Reminds me of mine except now she is 13 and has the sassy mouth too. sigh! I can sew but I love all these easy blog ideas. What stitch gives the wavy effect? I love that. Lately all I do is sew pillows, but eons ago I did make a top with buttons and sections and even a collar. I kept it because I could say..at one time I did this. lol My daughter laughed at it but I think it was cute. It's funny cause I was here age when I made in back in ..cough cough 1975. Katharine
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your saying How to ---- --- and Save the World. Wish I had thought of it.
