I fell in love with it….
So, I decided to make three summer dresses for my daughters and my niece…
It is a instant dress… It is gray and black …with a hint of pink…which is very faint…
I am kind of depressed right now…
I want to do so many things….
I feel that I am not a good at sewing… I don’t know if it is that I have been out of the game so long….
I don’t know that I will ever be as good as my grandmother was….

There is so many ideas going through my head right now….

I also want to make and outfit for my youngest daughter… I haven’t used a pattern in very long time…like 20 years ago long…I am so rusty…
Now ,that I am working around fabrics…I get so many ideas that I don’t know what to do….
