Sunny Yellow Emery Dress

Tomorrow my oldest child is graduating from high school so I decided to get a haircut for the occasion. For a person who used to be extremely adventurous about my hair, I've been stuck with the same hairstyle for at least 15 years. So I decided to try out bangs. I came home feeling a little unsure but optimistic. Well, when my 7 year old saw me, he started to cry!!! He told me to take a shower so my hair would go back the way it was. You would've thought I'd shaved my head. Unbelievable.

Anyway, here is my new dress, and my "horrible" new haircut. LOL! My son actually carried on so long I had to send him to his room for awhile. It was very dark and rainy today, sorry if my photos are gloomy!

This is my second Emery Dress, the first is here. I really like the fit and will likely make more of these. Changes to the pattern: lengthened the bodice 1/2 inch, shortened the sleeves 1/2 inch. Shortened the skirt above the knee.

This is made from a cotton tablecloth I picked up in the Homegoods clearance section. 

Now I'm going to crawl under a rock and wait for my bangs to grow back.

Just kidding!! I don't think they look bad, just need to get used to them.

Blue Tigers Jamie Dress!

This dress is for my 18 year old daughter, Maura. She didn't exactly feel like modeling on my blog, which I totally get, but I had to show this to someone...because BLUE TIGERS!!!

Can we just take a look at this fabric please!! When I saw it online at fabric.com I knew Maura would love it. She's started raiding my closet lately and she loved the Jamie Dresses I made a few years ago. She was deciding between Deer and Doe Belladone and Sis Boom Jamie, and chose the Jamie because of it's relaxed fit. Maybe she'll wear it to graduation under her cap and gown?!

This dress is crazy awesome!
