Adventures in Sewing

Today is Bid Day at BSC. Since I am one of the alumni advisers for my chapter, and a little Pi Phi obsessed in general, I decided that C must have a "Pi Phi Legacy" dress for her very first bid day. Did I mention I started it last night? I may have overextended myself a bit...


Fact #1: Attempting to sew a dress when you have absolutely no training in (a) how to sew or (b) how to thread your sewing machine will make you feel like an idiot.

Fact #2: Having a machine make you feel inadequate will urge you to retaliate by watching Youtube how-to videos at midnight and refusing to go to sleep until the pillowcase dress is complete.


Fact #3: Monogramming is harder than it seems.

Fact #4: Thank God the tiny person who will be wearing the dress is cute enough to distract from the mess underneath...

Fact #5: I think I  might actually enjoy sewing if I knew what I was doing.


Finished product after much much more time than I should have allotted:






I think this is how Vera started out...
