Divine Sewing



Divine wanted to sew a dress. 
I had her draw a picture of what she wanted it to look like.  
She described it as "long and bushy with puffy sleeves."  
Then she went into my closet o' fabric to pick out the materials she wanted to use. She helped me pin the pattern to the fabric, cut it and even sew it!  She sewed the entire skirt, basting stitches and all.  She remembered to backstitch upon starting and stopping, and zigzagged the seams. You are a superior seamstress my dear Divine!

Seriously, she can sew a straighter line than most women.

  16. Jessica,
    I pined over those at Fishs Eddy, but couldn't bring myself to pay the prices they wanted, and I ended up finding these at Shrimpfest on Amelia Island where they were DIRT CHEAP! I even got a gigantic one-I'll have to take a proper picture to show you.
