she began to cut out the shapes of fabric needed.....
Then she began to sew......
and sew.....
and sew........
until she emerged from her room with this lovely new, retro garment....
With a couple of very minor alterations, it fit her perfectly. It looks so lovely and flattering on her. And it took her less than two days to complete. Wow.
I don't know about you, but
I'm impressed.

I'm impressed, too! She is amazing! I love the dress - and it looks good on her! Good job, Tay! Love you bunches!
Wow, that inspires me to really teach my girls to sew. I bought them a machine for Christmas but we haven't done much with it. I too have 3 girls and a boy. Nice blog!
Mom, I'll tell Taylor what you wrote. I'm sure she'll appreciate it. :-)
Elizabeth, Thanks for your kind words. I actually only sew by hand, so when my daughter showed a strong interest in machine sewing, I got her lessons with a friend of mine. It was just a brief intro to it, but it was enough for us to see that she loved it. So we got her a machine, and she's taught herself from there! She uses library books and I think videos from blogs and websites.
So neat that you have 3 girls and a boy, too! I'm wondering if your boy has 4 "mothers" like my son does. lol :-)
Well the littlest one is only 2 1/2 so he still gets to boss her around, and the 10-yr-old is a very mellow middle child who doesn't boss him, but my 11-yr-old is constantly playing second mother to him.
