I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention!

Ta dah! La square dance frock extraordinaire! It turned out beautifully, and I have plans, and a retro sheet stash, for more. I'm right into this mutton dressed as lamb thing, and the world can go to hell!

Ah, that full, flouncy skirt.....the gathering drove me up the wall a little, but it's so worth it. I have been nagging myself to do more sewing this year, but realised I have actually made about 7 or 8 frocks this year, and I do feel rather motivated. This is a good thing, and I'd better ride that wave before the next slump! I'm nearly finished with another frock, just doing the hand sewing, and then I think I will bust out a stripey sheet set for another square dance frock........argh....I get all excited, but the trick is to stick to one frock at a time, I have found. I used to be terrible for cutting out several frocks at a time, then getting overwhelmed and throwing them all into a box and never finishing them...it's all about being disciplined and focused these days, and dammit, horribly grown up about it all. O dear!
