Last weekend, I took a “Sew Lovely” sewing class<\/a> to try to get more comfortable with my sewing abilities. I am glad I went, as it gave me the confidence to repair a very special dress.<\/p>\n

This dress was mine when I was around 8 years old.

I loved this dress. It was long and flowing and had those purple parts hanging down on the sides that fancy gowns in cartoons often had. To me, it looked like the dress that a princess would wear.

And now, at age 6, Adrianna loves the dress too.<\/p>\n

Because it has been such a loved dress, after only a few times of Adrianna wearing it, the dress got a huge tear in it. Part of the white skirt and one of the purple flounces (is that what they are called?) tore off almost completely on one side in the front. It sat in my pile of mending for a couple of months because I had no idea how to fix it. The skirt’s fabric width is much greater than the purple bodice part due to its many folds.<\/p>\n

After taking the sewing class, I felt confident to at least give it a try. I figured if it didn’t work out, I could use my seam ripper pretty easily. But lo and behold, I did it! I fixed the dress. It isn’t perfect, but this little girl is very happy with the results. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
