suitable way to display it.

So the party went well...

We had a lovely time at Paul's 30th birthday party on Saturday night and we were so happy to see our good buddies and have time to nibble, chat and of course have some libations!

Here are some details...

treat bags included photos of guests with Paul

homemade cake AND pie for dessert

Paul with Andrew and Nathalie

Meg looking fab in the dress I made

The big moment

It was fun!

the QUESTION is

what am I gonna wear for the party?

So easy!

The construction of this dress involves two pieces of fabric, and 4 seams. I used a pattern and just skipped all the tricky little extras. Since I used jersey, I don't have to worry about fraying. Now I have a lovely little T-shirt dress, ripe for accessorizing!

There's a party coming!

Isn't He Something?

My Husband...
