Sew tired...

Today my mother-in-law came to town to lend her services in helping me sew my first dress. A few weeks back, she and my sister-in-law, Erin, came to town to shop at a fabric outlet store in the city. We sifted through mountains of fabric and each came out with some favorites. I came across this corally-pink gem. It was kismet. Three yards left, discarded off to the side, this fabric was waiting for me to come by and see it's potential. I snatched it up and begged my mother-in-law to help me turn the colorful textile into greatness.

Today we sewed the bodice and the skirt. We just have to put in the zipper and then I will have a brand new dress. Pictures to come!
