not knitting
Very little knitting going on 'round here, but there's been lots of sewing. You see, Leah's going to a vintage dance event next month, so she made this:
Without a pattern.
Or any help.
Sewn entirely by hand (her choice not to use the machine).
Total cost: <$14. I am told she will also use a handknit reticule that night. I didn't know what a reticule was.

Well, okey dokey, then! ;-)

Leah continues to impress and amaze me with her many talents - this dress is beyond anything I could do and I've been sewing for a good 40 or so years.
Thought of you all earlier this week, Faith Middleton did a show about homeschooling families. I didn't get to listen to the entire program, but it sounded interesting.
just gorgeous!
*goes of to google "reticule"
So impressive and she looks beautiful in it. Well done, Leah!
Amazing work! Hand sewing takes so much devotion to the craft.
Just thought I'd let you know the previous post was from fullmoonknitter. Some how this always ends up on my husbands google account.

Impressive! I've sewed for 30 years and would not attempt a patternless feat. Kudos.
What an ambitious kid!! She looks just like a print from a Louisa May Alcott book. Petty as a picture.
That girl is outrageous! Does she have any idea how talented she is????
Way to go Leah!
Nice! Is she going to wear a corset underneath? The fit will be more authentic.
She is a talented girl. I see her standing with an Academy Award in her hand for best costume design.
That really is amazing. What a gorgeous gown! I'm stunned. It really is amazing!!
Speechless. Kudos!
WOW! Leah, you are the coolest person I have ever met. and I'm not kidding.
Wow, that is a fantastic dress!!
