First garment in a year!

I can not believe it has been nearly two months since my last posting! I have been so busy being a mom I haven't even stepped into my sewing room in weeks! Everett is growing so fast!! He's starting to smile and coo and he just melts my heart <3

The Christmas party is coming up on the 12th and I realized that I haven't sewn a garment since the Christmas party last year.  I have no idea how that happened or where the time went, but my sewing machine is screaming my name!! I've got a gorgeous purple synthetic fabric that I bought from Walmart a few months ago during a 5 yards for 5 dollars sale. It will be perfect for a cocktail dress! Now I just need to decided which pattern I'm going use.  My friend, Kim, is coming over on Monday to sew with me.  I'll probably make a final decision on what kind of cocktail dress I want to wear before then.  Plus, I need new measurements of myself because my size has changed a bit since I had Everett. Stay tuned, there will be more to come as the project unfolds.
