Obsessive

Ben and I were talking about how we get obsessed about things. Ben is obsessed with work and learning how to code/program right now. He worked the entire weekend at home because he wanted to. Saturday/Sunday morning he came to bed at 5am! I thought I was a fairly technical person but I'm not... He tries to explain things and I get really lost. He's enjoying his job though and I'm really proud of him and want to brag about how smart he is.


I'm obsessed with sewing right now. I can't find patterns in my size and I'm not sure I remember how to follow one anyway so I've mostly been sewing things for the girls. Ben holds on to things which normally annoys me but has come in VERY handy for refashioning. He had this XL tall flannel shirt and a XXXL Vandals tshirt.



I made an Abbey dress, Sophia skirt and me skirt from the flannel shirt. It was 11:30 when I finished the me skirt and Ben was working so here's the best timed picture I got.


I made this Abbey dress and Sophia dress from the Vandals t-shirt and an argyle patterned bedsheet. I'm really happy with how these turned out. I used their clothes as a guide to make the neck line and arms.
