Day 163: Oh Baby!
One of my favorite people in the world is moving away. 🙁 Her wonderful hubby just got a big promotion, that is taking them back to their hometown, Philadelphia. This isn’t the only big change happening in their lives. 🙂
Baby bump! 🙂
Earlier today, Heather invited me over to go through some of her clothes that she didn’t want to move to their new abode. I stumbled upon this dress:
Hmmm….
This is actually quite a pretty dress. Check out the strap detailing:
Pretty!
Heather told me that this was her favorite dress. She wore it all the time until it had a run-in with some bleach.
Oh no!
I knew just what to do! I grabbed a bottle of dye…
in Royal Blue!
…and got to work!
Fingers Crossed!
I tied a scrap around the dress and a gift card to Babies R Us, and brought it to Heather’s baby shower. 🙂
What could it be?
Ta Da!
I planned on getting a pic of Heather in her old/new dress, but completely forgot! Right now it’s in a box on a truck, so I probably won’t be able to get a true “after” pic for a while. I hope she thinks of me and all of her friends here in Columbia every time she wears it. 🙂
How could I have been so forgetful?!?! Someone must have slipped something in the bottle of wine I drank that night…;)
Cheers!

Ah, what a lovely thing to do for her. It´s a lovely dress, and am intrigued by the leg hanging next to it…do explain!
Thanks! 🙂 The leg is part of a half-mannequin that I bought from a local artist, Clark Ellefson. The mannequin was part of a display for a store in NYC in the 80′s that lived in his apartment there with an inflatable snake coiled around her. Now she lives with me (sans snake). 🙂
I found your blog last night. I love it! You make the best clothes! I’m a Jr. in college and over break I definitely plan to put my sewing machine to work for the next few weeks! Thank you!!!
Thanks! I WISH I had started refashioning in college! I would have been much better dressed if I had! 🙂 Let me know how your creations turn out!
Had you meant for this to be day 161 as well as yesterday? I love you blog! I read it every few days, if not every day and it completely inspires me! <3
Thanks for catching that! 🙂 And thanks for your kind words. 🙂
What a thoughtful thing to do! And a great surprise for your friend. I’ll bet she’ll miss you!
