Continued from previous post
Eagerly I rushed to verify if my revelation was correct
or not. Removing the pile of clothes
from the top shelf of the cabinet, I could tell it definitely contained some pattern pieces but as I withdrew the
pieces I realized they were pinned to fabric and were not of the pattern that I
had been looking for. This pattern had
been pinned to a kitschy, cute pineapple print, fabric and had even been
carefully cut out. But then, in the flurry
of getting our home ready to put on the market, I had tossed it in with a bunch
of clothing that I was going to repair
"someday", and for the last 10
years or so it had sat around, forgotten
and with pins and tissue pattern still attached, waiting for me to
"someday" put it together.
To my surprise, as I extracted this unfinished garment
from the pile, there, buried with it, was the pattern package that I had spent
hours searching for.
Of course now my
priorities had changed. After all, this
unfinished garment had been waiting far longer and deserved to be moved to the
top of my to do list.
Yes I finally completed the dress with the sweet
pineapple print . . .
and the first time I wore it, my daughter asked if it was new
and if I had made it. I replied; "Yes. Yes I did make it and
it only took me 10 years."
