I surprised Megan by sewing a blessing dress for Abigail… we had both looked and looked so hard to find the one I sewed for her baby blessing with absolutely no luck! (We had even both been praying to find it!) Then, Thursday evening as I was falling asleep, I was thinking that if I couldn’t find her dress, I could do the next best thing and just sew a new dress exactly like hers and I even still had the pattern I used! So, I got to work big time on Friday and Saturday sewing, sewing, sewing in order to have it ready by Sunday! Allison was a huge help—I’d forgotten how difficult the pattern was to read and it took both of us to figure it out! She helped me a lot and Saturday afternoon, when I’d finally finished the last step, I ironed it up and took it over to her house to surprise her with it… and she cried! When I first walked in, she thought I’d found her old dress and then I said, “No, this is blessing dress 2.0.” and then she just started to cry! The ONLY thing that was different about it was I put lace on the hem of Abigail’s dress. Megan’s dress was just a plain hem. I sure hope it turns up somewhere and it has been such a mystery as to where that dress went! It was crazy, but I’m so glad that I went ahead and did it—and Allison and I had fun doing it together! (Allison bought the sweet little bracelet for Abigail too!)
