Sewing my birthday dress from a vintage sheet, gentle reflections, growing older softly
Join me while I sew a sundress for my 50th birthday. I’ll be making it from a vintage floral sheet and adding whimsical tulip patch pockets. 🌷 In this video I share the process of making the dress, cozy spring sewing moments, and a few quiet reflections on turning 50, cherishing the moment, and growing older more gently. There’s something meaningful about making clothing for ourselves by hand, especially in a season of life that asks us to slow down and become more at home in who we are. Thank you for spending this soft spring day here in The Calm Burrow with me. Cheryl 🌷 / thecalmburrow / soberhobbit Skagen dress pattern: https://wardrobebyme.com/products/ska...
