I was so fortunate growing up to have a mom that sewed. She sewed a lot of clothes for us - formal dresses and even my sister's wedding dress. Her sewing machine hasn't seen as many projects in recent years besides hemming pants, but ring in the new year!
Conleigh is going to a Fancy Nancy Tea Party with her girl scout troop. The leader said they could wear a nice dress and many accessories. The troop leader is planning to wear her wedding dress from 15+ years ago (wouldn't that be nice to be able to fit in my wedding dress ~ anywho!).
Conleigh is a fancy girl anyway and this occasion brings out the opportunity for her to go all out!!
In early December, I took Conleigh to the fabric store. She caught on quick and found a pattern that she liked. Then we went looking for some fabric. She chose some really nice teal material.
Next step. Ask Grandma if she would consider sewing the dress. Thankfully, she said yes. When grandma & grandpa came to Austin in mid-December, we took Conleigh out of school (can you believe that?) to return to the fabric store and show Grandma the idea. Here we are less than a month later with a VERY excited six year old that looks adorable and so happy in her new dress!
Thanks Mom! It is just beautiful. I think it will be a treasure for many years to come. We love you!
