Dress Making? Me?

Ok if you know me at all you know I gave up making dresses 20 odd years ago..so why am I making a dress today?..b/c my granddaughter asked me too...she's 5 years old and starts kindergarten in a week...she loves fabric and loves to play with my scraps...when she was here for 8 days a couple weeks ago she picked out fabric for a school dress...sew..today I spent the day relearning what used to come natural to me...I have it all finished except to put the zipper in and then I have to measure her for the exact hem length...Tomorrow was suppose to be a day at the zoo for Jordan and me and baby sister Kaylee but they are calling for another full day of rain...so if I don't see her tomorrow I will go to her house on Saturday and measure her....I will post a picture when it is finished....I am not thinking dress making will ever come natural to me again but it is fun to do after all these years...I hope she loves it...blessings

Hi Judy, I am 'blog friends' with Peg - so I thought I would pop over and say Hi. I am going to follow your blog too. I am also quite a new blogger (end June). It's lovely to meet you. You seem to have such a very positive outlook on life - I think you will bring lots of smiles to us all.
Looking forward to the little dress - what we nana's will do for our grandies ...... ANYTHING!
