in my head, i make clothes for my little girl all the time...i transform thrifted finds into one of kind outfits for her to wear...in my head, i do this for my son too...in reality, i have a bin in the attic loaded with those thrifted finds just waiting to be used and a closet full of fabric collecting dust. in my head, everything fits perfectly and i have the patience to follow instructions...in reality, i have a shelf full of how-to books just waiting to be followed and a fear of wasting fabric or giving up before it's finished. in my head, i have made five beautifully finished outfits this week during the kids clothing week challenge over at
elsie marley...in reality, i made two pieces but in my head i am thinking that's pretty darn good.
This made me smile, it's what I've been thinking too this week! I'm always dreaming up things to sew, but then reality kicks in and sometimes things don't turn out as planned. But good for you for finishing two pieces :-)
ReplyDeleteSo romantic:) I have a boy, with another boy on the way...and for some reason, no girls in our closest family either. I can't wait for someone to have a girl, so I can make stuff like this for them:)

that's just why kcwc started. I had to stop being in my head (and on the couch) and start actually making. The dresses are lovely--and real. Thanks for participating in my little challenge!
