Finally a good news story!

After a few mishaps with the sewing machine, I am very proud to show off the first dress I have ever made I bought a yard off Oilily fabric off ebay before Christmas at an outrageous price, and have been umming and ahhing ever since, trying to decide what to do with it. Finally I got the courage to cut into it, and I’m pretty damn pleased with the result! Obviously it’s still a work in progress, but I’m hoping to have it finished by the end of the week so that Miss Zoe can parade around in it. We’re off to a button shop tomorrow to choose some pink buttons (and shhh – don’t tell anyone, but we’re then going to mum’s house so that she can sew the button holes!). I will update with a photo of Miss Zoe in her dress as soon as it’s finished!
