It starts! Project Sewn Your Signature Style

Well here it is. Blog entry number 1.  I'm posting this outfit as a sew along for  Project Sewn Season 1 Week 4. Your Signature Style.  My signature style is comfortable and kid friendly.  I really like knits and the comfort they offer!  I also appreciate easy laundering as I have two small children who love to give the best hugs at the messiest times.  I try to embrace these moments and try hard not to cringe at the spots left on my clothing.  So when I saw this fabric, soft, machine washable and super good at hiding stains with the shades of gray, I had to make it into something for me!  I made this dress using Simplicity Pattern 2219.
 
 
 

 This is my first attempt at having pictures taken of myself so bear with me.  

 

I love that I can bend easily to check the garden or my kids.  There is plenty of length to cover my knees so there is no over exposure.  I love that in a dress!  





 Well, I hope you enjoyed my first blog post!  Thanks for reading!  And if you have time and want to vote for your favorite signature style, head on over to Project sewn.

    It is super cute, nice work! I agree with easy laundering- things get messy around our house too :)
