Sewing Creation

This is my latest creation. I made this from two pictures I saw of similar-type skirts. It's Libby size. I made a lot of mistakes during the process -- I miscalculated measurements, I took out many, many stitches, I did a lot of figuring and refiguring. It was worth it.Why I can't stop sewing, I do not know. I can't sleep because I'm thinking about my projects, eating is an inconvenience and bother, my back aches and it's okay.

I'm indulging myself with this hobby because I know that it will soon end...oh, and because Steve is extremely supportive of this creative process that I'm enjoying. Please just be patient with me while I blog about it.

Very cute. I couldn't really get excited about sewing any clothes for my boys, but now that I have a girl, I think it would be fun to make her some things. I'll have to compare notes with you when she gets a little older!

It's got Libby's name written all over it! I'll bet she loves it.

PS The sidebar story about Libby and the mail makes me laugh every time I open your blog. :)

Way, way cool! I used to spend all my nights sewing while you kids slept... This isn't just sewing, though--it's CREATING! Love it.

I totally do the same thing! I get so obsessed that I can't sleep until it's done. That's how I was with the boys quilt. Lately it's been painting my house. The skirt is so darling!Really trying hard not to be jealous you are going to have 3 girls! I'll just live vicariously through you!
