Vintage Love

-
 When I saw the test go up for the Vintage Kate Tea dress I was prepared to beg to be accepted..Seriously beg. I could tell from just the drawing that it was going to be one of my favorite dresses ever.

Y'all I cannot even begin to describe how much I love this dress.The fabric is a very lovely Rayon that I found at Hobby Lobby. I had bought it with no project in mind. It was the perfect fit.

The pattern is one of the most well written patterns I have done.Its really sometimes quite difficult to test. The reason a designer asks for testers is to find any little flaws in the design or instructions..Many times they have been looking at it all too long that they just don't see anything anymore. A set of fresh eyes can be a big help!

With this pattern I felt like a tester failure. I tried to find anything at all that could be a help..Nope..
 The pattern went together sooooooooooo easy! I have sewn for many years but I am still learning. Many times I will get a pattern with a new technique that I haven't
done. Actually it happens a lot. Lol. I am a big chicken with a few things and will avoid them. Lol..This was the BEST hands down hidden zipper I have ever done. I also will say I am a bit in love with how she does her facings.

I will be making this dress again. I have seen so many beautiful versions come from the other testers that now I am DYING to copy a few of them!

(AU/UK)6 – 26, (US) 2 – 22, (EU) 34 – 54

I did today. Then just as I was about to scream I found this. It has ALWAYS made me laugh.I had forgotten I had it though.So today it was just like a present.Ü Oldest daughter has been confined to the house with what her doctor tells us is a very contagious viral infection. Personally I think her doctor is smoking some funny stuff. Her blood tests were normal and she has been battling bad tonsils for a month.Hmmmm. I dont think it takes rocket science when that is ALL she went in there for but evidently it does. More tests have been ordered and she is confined until monday. Can you say lets drive mom crazy? Then I found out a king size ALL feathered quilt that I mailed to a friend as a belated (like 20 years late)wedding, anniversary,housewarming(twice),congratulations on your 4 kids, yeah dont hate me because I am a horrible friend quilt NEVER showed up in the mail!

Year old girl.I hadnt told yall becuse I was living in a state of denial. Its my favorite state actually but that is another story. If you had asked me this weekend where my oldest daughter was I would of told you she was driving with the Ice Road truckers. She really was too. Oldest daughter was driving Pilot truck for an oversized load headed to Prudhoe bay. She drove the haul road. A road not many men will even drive. She said she prayed over many of the passes mainly the Attigun Pass but many of the others too. I had to laugh when she called me from Cold foot to tell me excitedly that she had met a couple of the Ice Road truckers as they are there filming. She was able to see a little of the filming too. On the web page for that t.v. show they make a statement that the road to prudhoe is driven by fearless tough men.Lol. They need to add And one 20 year old girl! I am really proud of her. I am such a powder puff and scared to try anything new. I dont know how I was blessed with her
