Don't try this at home!

I thought I would enjoy making a pretty dress - I didn't and resented the time stolen away from paper crafting!

Thank you Janice for that beautiful sparkly button!
Reasons to be cheerful:-
1. A good lesson learnt!
2. Sweet memories of my grandmother teaching me to sew.
3. Gracia wanting me to help her make a dress in the summer hols - now that is a project I will enjoy.

Well, the fabric sure looked pretty!
Now this is an interesting discovery! I'm waiting for my machine to be serviced and then we are going to try mother daughter sewing too. Fingers crossed. That looks like a lovely pattern
I'm still scared of using my machine!
I'm pretty sure I would hate making a dress....so I'm going to avoid even attempting it!!!
..at least you know now unlike me who'll probably never get around to trying! a great page x x
I like the look of that pattern too. I have never attempted a dress from a pattern. My mum is amazing at dressmaking though so I will have to persuade her to some mum and daughter time this summer!
Ha! What a great way to present a lesson learned! I love the page you did with it!
Oh, how disappointing. I totally understand that resentment of precious spare time taken up. The pattern and fabric both look lovely. Here's to a more successful foray into dressmaking with your daughter.
LOL! Glad to find someone else who doesn't like sewing.

I think it's good you've tried it. Ok it's not for you but let's face it, creative people want to try everything lol
Love your layout! I'm terrible at sewing and it seems all my machine gets used for is repairs to seams and hems.
I gave up sewing years ago when I realized it cost more to buy the fabric and findings than it did to buy a dress on sale!
This did make me laugh! Sorry that you didn't like making the dress - dressmaking doesn't appeal to me at all, much prefer papercrafting or knitting!
