When we were packing up all of our things in preparation for our move several weeks ago, I got really overwhelmed at a point. One of those *many* nights of packing and sorting I decided to sew a dress, because... well, I just needed to. It was a super simple dress made from printed jersey, so I didn't have to bother with finishing edges or anything fancy like that. ;) I basically just sewed a simple dress shape and threw it on. Somehow, that was therapy and I was ready to get back to work. It's funny how that works.
Moral of the story: sometimes a freak-out can yield comfy clothing. (wait... what???)
eee!!! how pretty katie!
ReplyDeleteWe recently moved too and I found myself making all sorts of things. It drove my husband a little mental but moving is chaos and making stuff totally IS therapy! That fabric is super sweet! Lovely x

Yes! I find myself baking a lot during those times, too. ;)
DeletePretty. Did you get the fabric at Joann's? I think I almost bought the fabric or something very similar for a top.
ReplyDeleteI did! It was on clearance so I couldn't pass it up!
DeleteI cant believe you sewed this! Super cute and totally worth the freak out! I am also really loving those boots!

LOVE the dress! You are so adorable and so much like me except mine is crochet therapy because I am intimidated by sewing
ReplyDeleteCute fabric! Looks super cozy. I agree - sometimes you just need to make something, it's a great stress reliever!

DeleteAs simple as this dress is, it is gorgeous and you look really lovely! I think making dresses when being overwhelmed or stressed is healthier than buying loads of dresses.

I found it at JoAnn one night while shopping for fabric for curtains. Yay for clearance fabric!
DeleteI love the print on the dress! Can you do a diy on making a dress like that?
ReplyDeleteI may give that a try in the near future!
