A Trip to Fabricland

1/13/2015

Now that Lisa has her own sewing kit, and it's her birthday at the end of the month, she wants to learn to sew by making herself a pretty dress for her birthday. That sounded like a great idea, so I took her to Fabricland so she could choose a pattern, and the fabric....

We picked up everything she would need....

When we got home, Lisa couldn't wait to show everyone what we had bought...

"Wow, this is really beautiful! Can you make me a dress like that too?"

In the meantime, I've been busy finishing off photo albums from last year. There were several folders full of photos on my desktop which either needed to be added to existing albums, or made into new ones - mostly photos of my Kaye Wiggs dolls. There's also quite a few doll outfits made last year that still need to be documented as well.

Then once I get some nice photos for 'thumbnail buttons', I can release the first albums of 2015. In the meantime I'm working on the new albums even though there are no links to them yet.

God bless your today. Beautiful clear photos as always, I have so much to learn, all I have to use is my digital camera and pretty much the on off and delete options lol, Sad, I know. May you and your family stay warm, safe, healed and blessed always! Have FUN doing your projects/pictures, we can wait, its always worth it. Katee

Thank you! I'm always trying to come up with new ideas for pictures, and now that I've decided to do a series of 'birthday' pictures, I can't very well do the same thing over and over, so I thought I'd make the next girl make herself a party dress.

Oh I love the pattern, so clever and funny, I love little props like that!
And I love the photos outside Fabricland. So brave, so brave!!!

I hope Lisa enjoys making her own dress now. ((^_^))

Thanks! I figured she'd need a pattern, so made one. I used a picture of my KW Miki and Layla wearing dresses similar to the one Lisa will be making.

Taking photos outside the store isn't that brave. What I really wanted to do was see if any of the sales ladies that know me were there, and if it wasn't too crowded, I'd ask if I could take pictures inside the store, but there was a big sale going on so the place was crowded.

Lisa made a good choice, i like the fabric too. And the pattern looks very nice. I love the photos outside Fabricland too.

Thanks! It's a lovely embroidered taffeta, and I had already chosen it as another colour choice for my Kaye Wiggs Christmas dresses, but after sewing nine of those, I didn't want to make any more that size. But I thought that style would look really nice on the smaller dolls too.
