Stretch Marks

focus on the version in the top left hand corner

When Meghann brought this pattern to me in Joann's a few months ago and asked me if I would make her a dress, I knew I was going to get some stretch marks.

Not this kind...thank goodness.

But the kind that come on my brain when I have to do something that is out of my comfort/ability level.

So, aiming to please, I said sure. We bought, what else...pink and zebra fabric. Meghann decided what color she wanted where and she even cut almost all of the pieces out herself. That's half the battle for me so I was glad she decided to tackle that project herself. She's going to be a great seamstress someday - no fear of cutting out a project.

It sat on my sewing room floor (or "The Cave" as my family refers to it) for several weeks before I found the courage to start. Once I started, it came together fairly easily. I only had to pray over the pockets :). I've never put pockets in anything before!

Meghann was thrilled with the finished product and I was happy to know that it wasn't so bad earning new stretch marks.
