Daughter & Mom were spotted in New York gliding across Fifth Avenue sporting a lovely animal print. Of course, the ultimate question was asked - Who Wore It First... and after much ado... the Answer - Mom wore it first... b/c she made her dress first....LoL... After completing the garment I was left with 3 yards of this lovely fabric and my dd grabbed it up with a swiftness and did her no-sew move. She loves to wear sarongs and Presto!!! she had whipped up this lovely gown. New Look 6571: Misses Knit Dresses, Tank Top, Tunic, Skirt and Belt

After causing an all-time disaster of 3!!! not 1, not 2, but 3 dresses, I licked my wounds and worked up this quick and easy garment. But, will say the reason for my disasters were not wholly my fault....lol. My sewing machine was going on the fritz, and I continued working on the garments and finally after the 3rd dress horror, I knew I had to send my sewing machine to the repair shop.
Well what is a destined sewist to do without a sewing machine.... Well I tried to fix my very first sewing machine, but it was so archaic, that I just put it back in the sewing case and tipped toed on over to Sears and purchased a Kenmore 19233. A gurl's gotta have a back-up ya know....lol.
and my baby girl just celebrated her 20th Birthday Day!!!
Ok... back to looking for my knit project.....

Love the print on both of you.
You both look fabulous (I can't believe you have a 20 yo daughter!). And if you didn't mention that your daughter's dress was no-sew I would never have guessed... very clever.
You both look fantastic!
Happy Birthday to your beautiful daughter!
It doesn't matter who is first! You both look fabulous! A no sew effort too! I would have never guessed. Fabulous! I just had my sewing machine fixed and I am too happy. I hope you get yours back soon.
Too cute, both of you! And I think your dress is so flattering on you - excellent job!
Look at the twins. Too cute. I think you both look fabulous. I see a future seamstress in the works.
I love both dresses! They both look great on you two! Too fun! I think sarongs are so neat, but I have no idea how they work. And, of course, a backup machine is needed!

Love the jacket and dress look together! I also love your daughter's version!
You both look amazing! I am in the market for a sewing machine. I am a totally new sewer so I am looking for something that's easy to use but is still good quality. Any recommendations?
I can see where your daughter gets her sass from. You both look fantastic. I hope she had a wonderful birthday.
Ya'll look smashing!! The creative apple don't fall too far from the tree. Very nice! Oh and btw, I lingered a little longer to listen to your playlist. Good choices!
3 words: FAB-U-LOUS. LOL! I love that your dd did the no-sew move. I think even I might be able to do that! Both of you look great!
