I’ll definitely never, ever forget the few days it took mom and me to pull this dress together. I had a terrible time finding just the right material. I had originally wanted a soft pink with a darker pink (small) floral print but I couldn’t find what I had in mind (of course, that’s what I get for waiting ’till the last minute, huh?!)

I really wanted to go to the 9th Annual Spring Planting Festival, though.

Once I decided on a dress pattern and settled on the green vintage material with small rose print, plus the other stuff we needed, we gathered it all up and got busy….

Time to Sew!

Almost Done!

Let me tell ya, it took two very, very late nights (Or should I say early?) of staying up ’till around 3 a.m., plus 3 full days to get this dress done. My mom hadn’t sewn an outfit since I was a kid, and me? Well, let’s just say I’d better stick to juices and writing! LOL

Seriously, it seemed like it took a gazillion yards of fabric to make this dress!

And, of course, when it came time to actually go to the festival, we were…
