Here's my entry for The Sunday Stamper Challenge hosted by the very talented Hels, where you have to use lace. The background, as always, is various colours of DI's, stamped over with a T!m dress pattern stamp, the top, skirt and sentiment are all Studio 490. I love anything to do with dressmaking, think it's because my Mom was a dressmaker and taught it for most of her life. Although I can sew, and do tailoring because she made me, I was never particularly interested in it when I lived at home, but once I had children of my own, I spent hours making clothes for them. She was also very interested in any types of craft - I wasn't, and when she died I cleared out her workroom and took everything to the dump-it site. I have since got interested in crafting and could weep about the stuff I threw, she would have loved to have crafted with me.
Oh Ann that's so sad but we've all done it I'm afraid and regretted afterwards. The card is so creative, lovin it.

ReplyDeleteOh I love the card, Ann, but I love that making it evoked lovely memories of your Mum (we'll just ignore the dumping part)x x

ReplyDeleteVery beautiful card hun...and how lovely that your Mum passed on her creativity to you...I bet she is looking down on you and is so proud of your fantastic art...thanks for joining in with the challenge again..oh, and you are my new BFF cos you said I was very talented LOL
ReplyDeleteFabulous piece you've created. I can imagine how you feel about overlooking the potential of your moms stash. I'm sure she would love what you are doing now.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Ann. My Mum made all our clothes when we were growing up but unfortunately I was never interested enough to learn how to do it myself. A regret I'll always have...
