Lauren's Drasses

My granddaughter was very addiment about this dress she bugged me for a week to make this dress. Once i made it she wanted more and with the scarf and a purse which i haven't made yet. She definately want a red one so she will then have 4. I ask her if she wanted a different style and showed her more patterns she say no she want the one above in red, so before she goes back home to Virgina i have to make the red one.
This dress was fairly easy it took me about 45 minutes to make.
My next project will be for my grandson






My sewin passion dedicated to my Aunt Dora


I have a passion for sewing. I have been facinated with it since i was 5 years old or younger i am now 45. It all started with my Aunt Dora she use to always want me to thread her needle because she could no longer see the eye of the needle. I is a recylement because now i can't see the eye of the needle. Luckly for us sewist that we have the needle threader. I was the needle threader for my aunt and i loved it. Her words "Squeaky (me) come thread my needle" i can still always hear that in my head. I use to tell my mom that I needed to go see Aunt Dora so that i can thread her needle. I love my aunt Dora bless her soul.

My love for sewing started then so did my love for electronics. I was so fascinating how that machine put that fabric together like that and afterwards you can wear it. as a youngster I never grasp the concept or ideas of sewing as a career. If I had I would have been a designer instead of a phlebotomist.

So now that i am older and my kids are older it is time for me to try and work more toward the things that i want, which include my own physical boutique that carries my designs as will as others sewist designs

So with that being said i have been working on this for about 8 months now. Thank you Aunt Dora if it wasn't for you i will have no intrest in sewing, and designing my own appare
