If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Sweet summer Dress


My mom sent me a package full of beautiful fabrics and threads and sewing goodies and I've finished my first dress using those things.  I am having fun coming up with patterns and tweaking sewing techniques until I get it right.  I branched out too far with this one and re-vamped it not once, not twice but THREE times.
... a fourth time may be coming, can't say for sure. :-)
 Look closely at the bottom to see the "busy bee" embroidery pattern on the hem.
The flower on the front I hand-appliqued.  I will NOT be doing that again any time soon; it's time consuming and the finished product isn't completely satisfying.

The back is one part planned, one part whoopsie and one part cover-that-up-with-a-flower. Ha!
