Is it REALLY my birthday tomorrow? Geez. I seriously suck at blogging...almost a whole month has gone by with only 1 post! Ok, ok. Birthday resolution....organization!!! Pinterest should be my friend, right? Tons of organization on there I can gawk at.
So, I have been making stuff lately..ofcourse...but more specifically lastnight I FRANKENPATTERNED! For those of you who do not know what that means, it is taking different parts of different patterns and sewing it all up. Sometimes I find that I can't get ALL of the elements I'm looking for in 1 single pattern. This happened to me recently when I tried to find a pattern for a Native American Ribbon Dress. Although, I should have made The Ribbon Dress more true to form than I did...I ran out of time to practice. AND there is a paper pattern out there...but alas...paper patterns and I don't mix well. I will have to post those mis- haps one day. Outtakes if you will.

So enters FRANKENPATTERNS!
A-line...check!

This little dress is for a special little one who is going to the Thanksgiving celebration at the Governor's Mansion. I hope to post some more pictures soon!! More importantly.....I hope it fits! That's the thing about frankenpatterns...they haven't been "fit-tested". I sure hope this one fits well!! Guess we will have to wait to find out the verdict.
Until next time!
