I am still awake. I can't stop thinking about those doll dresses. I can't stop thinking about the American Girl dolls. I loved dressing them up, loved brushing their hair. The reason why I am thinking about it? I have not the faintest idea.
I ordered a vintage 1960s dress pattern the other day. I have never made a dress before. I have made skirts and even a very poorly made blouse but never a dress with a pattern. I am planning on copying the pattern so i don't destroy it. Sizes in the 60s were a little different. I need to learn how to resize patterns, too. I can't decide what fabric to buy. Of course I should probably be working on my research paper. The last thing on my mind.
I will let you know how the dress making goes. As of now, all I have is the pretty pattern, the package is a stylish sketch of women donning the dress. If I can practice making dresses enough, maybe I will get good at it. I have been looking for a new hobby.
I think that when I am finished using the pattern, I will frame the package. The drawing is adorable, and it would be a fun sketch to have hung up somewhere. Maybe I will frame every dress pattern I complete.
Sigh. Well it has been a long day. I think that now I have transferred my thoughts to this blog, I should be able to sleep.
