The Wood Between the Worlds: the dress

12/13/2009 | Author: jefferies

Sewing...I learned how to make hats, mittens and scarves in my high school outdoor clothing class. Over the years, I've sewed odds and ends: mending little boys' pants, making Jedi capes for Joshua's birthday party, etc... Well, I needed a hobby to get my mind off things and I decided to start sewing again and learn to sew more advanced things. And right after I made that decision, my girlfriends started getting together for a weekly sewing day. And my more experienced sewing friend Katie guided me through the process of making this:

...and I must say I am pretty pleased with the result. I love this style of wrap dress, but it is very hard to find it in anything other than boring brown or black. I LOVE fun colors and patterns and I can't wait to do more!
