I Know...I’m Bragging

Caresse loves to sew, like I have said in other posts...and I hate to sew, as I have also stated!!!  Being a very “smart” home school mother, I found some wonderful books to “teach” Caresse so that I wouldn’t have to.  
One of the books (that I love), starts out “Do you fall in love with fabric?” - yes...that is Caresse.  The book is Sew What! Skirts and she loves it.  It teaches her how to make her own patterns for skirts, which she just seems to be a natural at.  
Well, she got so motivated that she sewed a SHIRT for Garett.  No patterns, except what she drew.  And, I have to brag, because I am very proud of her first shirt.  And Garett is very proud of his new shirt also.  He wore it to church today!
Now I am trying to control myself as I think of all the projects I have for Caresse.  She is afraid I am going to chain her to the sewing machine.  Can I do that?  If I feed her?  O.K., O.K.  I wont, and I may not have to if I just provide beautiful fabric for her!!!  I see an evil plan evolving....

  8. Wow! She is good!! She has a natural knack for it!!

    I always wanted to sew too BUT couldn't figure out those darn patterns. I think I was so afraid of doing something wrong, I couldn't do anything at all...

    Great job Caresse!

  12. Great job, Caresse! I have never been someone who loves sewing and looking at fabrics makes me want to flee in the opposite direction. But I so admire people who are diligent enough to do it and do it well. Love the shirt!
