Angie & White Paisley Dress

Angie moved out today. It was pretty simple, she doesn't have much. i will miss her being around. i will miss her calling me from the kitchen telling me to come get coffee and juice and kefir. She's just moving across the canal, but it feels like very far. I'm glad we became friends. Im glad she came to stay for a while.

She helped me cut out the pattern i copied off my polka dot dress vanessa gave me before i moved to new orleans. Sometimes i feel really bad for cutting up fabric, especially when it is so pretty. i constantly have to remind myself that i am creating not destroying when i cut it up. I also have been trying not to judge myself so harshly and forgiving my mistakes. sewing is a spiritual practice, like singing and riding my bike and doing most anything i love.

i love the dress, what can i say. It's a full circle skirt, the kind my mom wouldn't even make because it was too much fabric for just a skirt. (no wonder i have issues around fabric) I haven't done all the finishing work, but here it is as it lies tonight. Ill post pictures of it done hopefully tomorrow.
