Leigh vs sewing

I was inspired by this DIY project over at Love Maegan. We had some professional family photos taken this morning and I wanted to wear something snazzy in the pictures.

So...I approached the battle with a needle and thread in hand.
I've been known to throw all kinds of hissy fits when sewing is involved.

This project only took me a few
hours to make and I didn't cry once.

Yay
me!

The best part is that I used one of my
fancy bobby pins that I wore in my hair at my wedding to
make it look even more frilly.

I will call this battle
"The great sewing victory of 09"



For those keeping score....

I'm very impressed! The best I do with needle and thread is sewing on a button or stitching up a hole. And that's about it. The necklace is beautiful!

I braced myself... not doubting your talents, but my own personal experiences with sewing make me instantly wary/empathetic to anyone taking up the task.

All I can say is WOW! Looks AH-MAY-ZING. Seriously. I'd pay a chunk of change in a fancy ass store for that. Well played, madam!

I could never pull off such panache! I'm wildly jealous of great style. I'm so 'classic' it will put you to sleep!

KUDOS! You are SO beyond the game you shouldn't even keep score!
