Remember the scene in The Sound of Music when Maria is inspired to make the von Trapp children outfits from her bedroom drapes? Well, I felt a little like Maria this past weekend (whether that is a good or bad thing I'm still not sure) as I decided to use drapery fabric to sew Chrissie a dress. Instead of Chrissie matching other children, however, her dress matched one of my skirts that my mother-in-law had made me (which I absolutely love). I'm still not sure if I'm crazy, cheesy, weird, or ten years old, but, I had so much fun making Chrissie a matching dress. And, of course, Chrissie loved her "so beautiful" new dress. The best part was Chrissie sitting in my lap squealing with delight as "we" sewed the finishing touches on her dress. I'm not a seamstress by any stretch, but, I'm sure enjoying my new little hobby.
