Vestidadelmar Sew Much to do...

Yesterday night I didn't even sleep looking all over internet for a pattern I had. I just think someone borrow it and never returned it. It is a lined reversible one-piece top with shoulder straps criss-crossed at the back and buttoned to front has matching bloomers with elastic casing at waistline and at leg edges forming self ruffles. I want to make one for my six month granddaughter.

My daughter is 27, I made this dress for her when she was a baby and did it like four more for that time. Then eight years ago when my granddaughters were born I made them for them too. It's Simplicity 5052. Well since I didn't find it at home I ask my daughters in law if they still had the dresses I made the baby girls when they were born so I can make a pattern out of them. I was not successful at that.

So I searched all over the internet. After searching and researching I found out that simplicity had three different issues of the dress (8165, 5052, and 8948). Knowing the numbers for each I search all the internet for the patterns. And wala I found 5052 together with 14 more children patterns in ebay. So I waited until the bid was almost done and I just looked in too late, it had already finished. I missed it by seconds when I was there waiting, there were more bidders.

Well I started all over my searching and found the 8948 pattern, it's even better since it has two different dresses and more sizes. You can make two different dresses or use the two together. The bid was for 4 patterns and this one was fantastic. After all this search I went to sleep at 4:23 in the morning.


Now I just need to wait for it in the mail. I will share my completed dress when I'm finish.

Todays Lesson: When you need something search patiently, even if you don't succeed the first time don't give up. Better things will make there way.
