Project Runway..here I come!

It’s been a hot couple of days here in New England.. so hot that today after we ate lunch at a nice cool restaraunt and then perused the local B&N.. I could have easily came home and ZONKED. Mr. Knitpho was even shocked when he saw me awake on a Sunday afternoon! It was the perfect time to get down to some serious sewing business. That I did…

I present to you, my second attempt at the pillowcase dress:

I did it right this time.. measurements and everything. I’m no dummy.. most of the time!! Instead of the binding, the evil evil binding – I just folded over the armsyce (thats a real sewing term!) and stitched it nice & neat..and instead of ribbon, I made my own little ties out of the fabric. Im wicked smaht like that.
and then done with pics.. she walked away IMG_3222

It for sure did not take me 15minutes… but that’s with doing other stuff too. I’m pretty pleased with this little dress.. I am going to attempt a matching hairband too! But, that’s tomorrow. Now, it’s time for drinks… and casting on for socks.

Today, I feel accomplished!

    ADORABLE. Once again you’ve inspired me. This time I want to learn to sew… oh wait, didn’t I say that about knitting too. I tried once and that was the end of it. I need to take a class or something cause I’m kinda a dumb ass and not so good at teaching myself things.
