My Little Dress

I will start by saying I had today off...WaHoooo!!! Typically I would spend my day off cleaning or organizing something that has been bugging me lately. Today, I decided to spend it doing what I enjoy...making things! I had purchased a pattern to make dresses for Mya. It was just one at Walmart so no big deal right? As most of you know I don't do well with pattern's or measuring anything. Nothing has changed. I attempted to follow the pattern but it just wasn't working and I was screwing it all up. Soooo, Out with the pattern and in with the free-hand sewing. I did use the pattern's size and arm holes as a guide so I can't say it was a total loss. And I must add, there is a lot of lingo in those pattern's and I have no idea what it means :-) So here is my finished product.
This one is a keeper...



This one not so much! This was the one I attempted to begin using the pattern that flopped. I did complete it but just mostly for practice. It looks pretty good but it's too small for Mya and maybe even for Ansley :-)



We also had a doctors appointment today and it was uneventful. Heart rate was 134bpm and I am measuring 33 weeks. We go back in 2 weeks then weekly after that. I am not drinking enough fluids so I will have to make myself drink more. It is not an easy task for me as I am not a big drinker, and now I have to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes! Good thing she is not low or it would be more often; she is kicking the crap out of my ribs and enjoys sticking her foot out of my left side. I don't remember Mya being this high up in my belly. No pregnancies are alike thats for sure!

BRANDY!! I am so impressed with all your craftiness lately!! You are on fire!! The dress is DARLING!! And the fabric is super cute!!

I dream of being able to sew but am not sure it is in my cards! I am going to give it one last ditch effort though and if that fails, I give up! For good!

Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend! :)
