So now that I have completed my 3rd dress for Ava, I can still say I love it. My next one is going to be a skirt. Should be easy, but I need to go clean my house before I tackle that one!

Sewing Lessons
After my first dress that I sewed for Ava, I got hooked. Since then I have made her two more dresses for fall. Both different in style and construction. I've learned that making a dress from material measurements is a piece of cake. But sewing from a pattern...well that's a whole new thing. For starters, it seems patterns are way off in sizes. My first attempt was a bit too big for Ava, but I also learned how to fix it and make it work. Another lesson learned: armholes SUCK!! Yup, they are no fun. But I suppose I may change my tune once I've had a little more practice on them.
