I finally sat back down at the sewing machine tonight and actually finished a project! Everything has still been packed up since we returned from our trip last weekend. I really haven't been super motivated lately but this felt great to be productive again. I even conquered a new dress style. I saw something similar and really enjoyed it so I decided to give it a shot. And once again it's a reversible dress in Heather Bailey fabrics. Shocking.
It's just like my classic reversible dress but it ties in the back instead of on the shoulders. I must say that I don't know how to do the top trim where the ribbon slips through. It came out a little sloppy. Cute, but sloppy. Good thing that the friend of mine who requested it hasn't a clue about sewing so she won't know the difference! It bugs the crap out of me though. I'd really like to know how to do it better.
I also must share that I had a little help with my motivation tonight.
Andrew prepared a fresh, icy, and delicious mojito for me. What can be better than a refreshing ice cold mojito while you sew?? Answer: a refreshing ice cold mojito sitting pretty on Amy Butler fabric. Fantastic! It was even made with freshly picked mint from our herb garden. I have it made. That's all I've got for now.
Yum!!! What a good husband. I do love the dresses...such girly-girl prints.

Thanks Vicki! I do have a fantastic husband. We'll have some yummy drinks when we get together sometime (and no one is pregnant of course)! :)

The dress looks great Tina, in fact so does the drink. Hope you are all having a lovely summer.
