I finally finished the dress I posted about last time (a few weeks ago, actually). I’m only now just writing about it because I’ve been a busy bee! Last week, Sam decided it was time to use the big boy potty. Oh yeah! We’ve been in full blown potty training for almost a week now, and he’s doing fabulously. He looks like such a big boy in his underpants.

Somehow in all this I’ve managed to sew here and there and finish two projects! The dress I made cost less than five dollars for materials, because the fabric I used was a twin cotton sheet I found at a thrift store and cut up. I used a wonderfully soft lining for the bodice and it’s very comfortable. I like the boat neckline and length a lot, but next time I think I’ll skip the front tie. I don’t know, I can’t decide if I like it or not.

The second project was a skirt with eight godets. I’m thinking if I ever get out for swing dancing again, this is the skirt to wear! Check out my twirling action, hehe. Challis is my new favorite material… super soft, drapes well and is lightweight. Perfect for the summer. I like the mostly pink but kinda coral color this print has. I can’t wait to pair it with some cute shirts and hit the town! (In between feedings and potty runs, that is). :)
