July was kind of an awesome month, at least for the first three weeks. I totally sewed my heart out, then the whole household came down with a dreadful cold, and I didn't see the inside of my sewing room for 6 days. That's a seriously long time for me, y'all! Fortunately, we are all on the mend now, and I got a swimsuit for Myra cut out this morning. Despite the week "off", I still had a pretty amazing month.

1)
New Look 6723 wedding dress for Breanna
2)

That is 16 items in a little over 3 weeks! Woo-hoo!! Not including the wedding dress, I sewed up 23 yards of fabric, but 40 yards came in. Some of that was a gift from a friend (yay, free fabric!) and 8 yards of the new fabric has already been sewn up. Still, some stash busting definitely needs to happen.
The star of the show this month was obviously
the wedding dress. I am so glad I was able to contribute in a small way to Steven and Breanna's special day. The wedding is on the 10th, so hopefully I'l get some good pictures of the dress in action. After the wedding dress, I had a knit top frenzy, which was a great way to refocus. Then I had another run of dress sewing, this time for Myra. Little girl dresses are so fun!
In August, we have several birthdays, so I may have some birthday sewing coming soon. There will definitely be a Minnie Mouse dress on the machines. Other than that, I'm not sure what I want to sew. I've been staring at my fabric wall, but nothing has really been speaking to me. We'll have to play it by ear and see what happens...

I just bought about 15 yards of fabric, because nothing I had spoke to me. My sons groaned, my dearly beloved laughed, and the daughters cheered with me! Myra's dresses are adorable, and that's a lot of output for only 3 weeks! Glad you're all on the mend.
Girls' dresses are the best! Nothing like them... and Myra's closet sure looks very colorful! I also looked at the wedding dress... only one word.. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had been thinking about you yesterday morning and was going to send you a message because I felt I hadn't seen you online a lot lately. I'm sorry to hear you guys got sick, but glad to hear y'all are on the mend.
