More Photowhoring....

One of the things I do look forward to doing once my job ends is having time to sew more. I recently did some sewing. It sort of happened by accident. I know, that sounds crazy. How do you sew "by accident"? Well, it all started when I went to Hancock Fabrics to get some ribbon for a baby blanket I had knit for a pregnant friend/co-worker. I happened to be wandering around and lusting after all the fabrics when I ran across some denim. And it was on sale. I thought I could find a cute skirt pattern to make to wear with my new boots. But instead I found a cute dress pattern. So I bought the pattern and the material. The denim was on sale, and the whole dress cost me around $25, including thread and other notions. Cool, huh? I mean, sure I could have gotten a dress from Goodwill or the Durham Rescue Mission Thrift Store for something like $4, but I have a brand new dress for $25 and unless some other soul happens to pick the same pattern and the very same fabric, I have a one-of-a-kind dress! So here it is. I wore it to church the other Sunday and made Gerald take pictures of me before I took it off.

I love the dress so much, I bought some corduroy to make another one soon!
