Pillow case dress rejection

I took a little bit of time off from writing the article to make a new summer dress for N. It's been so hot here and the child only wants to wear dresses.

Pillow case dresses are easy and quick, so I went with that style. I used some fabric I already had at home and added some pink ribbon for the shoulder tie, some white lace at the bottom, and a small pocket. I was done pretty quickly.

But... She refuses to wear it. She told me I can keep it until her little sister gets bigger. *tears* Her reason?   It's not long enough, she wants very long dresses...

Moral of the story - before taking the time to make clothes for a little one, make sure she likes the style or at least figure out what her *must haves* are. Maybe next time...

Epic fail

You see that? Fail. I really tried because I kind of liked the drawing and the original background. Then I messed it up royally, tried to cover it up, and blech. Fail.

But that's ok, because what I really needed was the journey. So the result came out... disastrous, but in the end just sitting here and trying to make something distracted me from the craziness that today was.

All is good in the world.

Got any "fail stories" to share?
