A couple weeks ago I had a dye day at my house. I had a large piece of rayon type fabric that I wanted to sew into a caftan dress after I dyed it. The fabric didn't hold the dye too well but I like the airy, cloudy look it now has. I ended up not having enough fabric for a dress so I settled on a tunic.
I'm pretty pleased with the results considering I don't sew very often. I also made the arm holes large enough that I can wear it and still nurse.
Doing any kind of solo craft with all the kids home might be one of the most frustrating ways to spend an hour or two. Tons of complaining and all sorts of fights started the second I broke out the sewing machine. I guess it's all in the past now, thank goodness! Does anyone else have the same problem?

I am so excited to try something like this out-- you look great.
ReplyDeleteit's a lot of fun! i highly encourage you to do it :)
Deletelove it! looks even better than I had imagined it would :)
ReplyDeletethanks!
DeleteIt looks wonderful :) I tried this once with an old pillowcase and it didn't turn out so well. And you're right about crafting with kids. It's very much like eating. They can be preoccupied all day until the moment you sit to accomplish it. Then they right there, my youngest literally on top of my head at times!
ReplyDeletehaha! very true!
DeleteLove! Have I ever told you that for a summer I tie-dyed (shiboried 'cos I'm hip) for a living? You look so girly and adorable, that for a minute I thought you were your gal. Hot mama alert!
ReplyDeletei would expect no less than the hippest from you ;)
DeleteHow dare you try to do something for yourself, right? Ha. No, you are not alone.
ReplyDeleteI too love the faded look of it; in fact, I prefer it. It's super cute on you. You're just all around adorable.
thank you :)
