Sewing Projects! Princess Dresses & Dolls

I've mentioned in "the start" I am ADD.   If you follow my projects you'll see it in action.  I have grandiose ideas and I way underestimate the time to make them! Then sometimes I get overwhelmed and bogged down.  Other times I have cranked out a lot of whatever I was making.
In August I went to S. R. Harris Fabrics in Brooklyn Center to buy a few fancy fabrics with my granddaughter Maria. She is 5 years old.  She has taken sheets of paper to make a pattern for a dress for her stuffed tiger! She is intersted in fabrics and construction of a garment.  It seems most little girls love dress up clothes and she LOVES LOVES them!  S R Harris is a HUGE warehouse store. We had fun looking around and dragging out huge bolts to the cutting table and trying to figure out what would go with what.   I wish I knew more about fabrics.  There are definitely lots of unusual treasures here.






I will be finishing one dress for Christmas and one a month later for her birthday.  My sister Clare helped me figure out how to put these fabrics together.  I will be starting on my Christmas sewing and gifts soon.
