A reader sent me this link (THANK YOU, Linda!) for a very easy to sew dress/doll dress. It’s basically a “pillowcase” dress but Addie could sew these things all day . . once I teach her how to sew and, of course, at 7, she isn’t going to do anything all day!
I showed it to Vince and I said . . we could even make matching masks for Addie and the doll. Vince gave me that look and said “I don’t like that masks are now become part of your fashion statement.” Me? Fashion statement? Those things do not go together.
Speaking of fashion statement . . when he went to Aldi the other day alone, he bought me two pairs of shoes . . at Aldi! One is kinda like the plastic clog type shoes. They’re not bad for outside use but we have this tiny little gravel in our driveway and those kinds of shoes, that gravel gets in them and then it hurts like heck when I step down on it. The tennis shoes I haven’t even tried on yet. I may love them. I love everything else from Aldi. At least he was thinking about me. 🙂

And he knew what size!! That is amazing!!

It was amazing. He walked in the house and asked what size shoe I wear and I told him and he said “Oh, good! I got the right size.” I asked him how he he knew what size I wore and he said “I’ve been with you when you bought shoes!” I’m thinking . . that had to be a VERY long time ago because the last few pair I’ve bought were in MO and he wasn’t with me. Kinda scary that he knows that. I’d like to ask what else he knows . . like “how much did I spend on yarn last year?” but some things are better left unsaid!

Is there a link for the dress?

I have a friend who makes dresses from “Keepers Dolly Duds” patterns. I know there is a FB page – not sure where else – but they are really nice patterns!
Judy Laquidara says
Thanks! There are some cute patterns there.

Oh, that would be a perfect project for Addie! She’s still young enough to enjoy matching, too. How nice of Vince to think about what you might need and get it in the right size.
