And We're Back (After a Very Busy December)

Looking forward to posting some of the hundreds of photos Hannah took of our vacation. But in the meantime, here is one picture of our Christmas.

Trying Out The Trim- lace, beads, etc.



First picture is the historical dress on which this pattern is based. It will be interesting to see how much Abby's dress will resemble the "real" , historic one.

It's Starting To Look Like A Dress (Finally)

The bodice is just the lining at this point. The skirt needs a waistband and a hem.

The sleeves are being held in place. But at least it looks more like an article of clothing today.

Grandma Jo leaves for Slovakia next week to visit her daughter and her family over Christmas and she needs to get Abby to the point where she can finish the dress on her own. Can she do it?

Let us only hope so!
