Ruffle top for oldest


This is the ruffle top I made last week for the oldest daughter. I will be offering it in my online shops as a custom item for girls or womens sizes based off chest and hip measurements. I can make it in a variety of color combinations and schemes.

We are still progressing on the house preparations for 1st communion. Everyone also seems to be doing better after the stomach viruses. I still need to work on the two aforementioned dresses for this weekend. Last night, I was still feeling bad, so nothing was done.

Today I register the youngest son, child #3, aka P, for public preschool next school year. Wow, how time has flown. Just seems like yesterday he was a baby in a carseat when we moved to the country. Cannot believe he will be boarding the school bus in the fall.

Is it oppressive?

Not much sewing going on here, but I have been cruising the internet more than usual and was not feeling well today. I came across a post on a blog today (Gertie) about whether vintage clothes are oppressive, going backwards. I do not think this at all, I think it is individuality, flattering and enhancing the feminine look, wishing for simpler life and times, and probably other ideas out there. I also believe men and women are different, but capable of being equals in various ways, but there are things that are inherently male and female. Different but equal. And have no problem with dressing up the physical to be attractive. Not to the extreme, but to look neat, appropriately dressed, made-up. I am not a feminist in the traditional sense, I am a stay at home mom with kids. I believe the differences are good. Now, I do believe in equal pay for equal work, but does that mean I want to do the heavy industrial physical work? No, but I know some women will and can. If they are c...

Post a comment and I will draw this weekend. And to last weeks', now I have your info & they will go out tomorrow. At this rate, I may thin my stash quicker than I thought. Once my kids go back to school, I may go through the fabric stash and make little scrap bags for quilting scraps for giveaways. On the home sewing front, I was able to get one top put together for daughter and the second is also sewn together. Both need bias tape finishing (handwork) which can be done in the evening in front of the TV. Maybe tomorrow I will get the remaining pants cut out, bringing her total to a possible 5 pairs of capri/shorts for school...
