Classic Sewing Magazine – Foundation Paper Pieced Santa Dress
Have you received the most recent issue of Classic Sewing Magazine? Well, I just got my copy in the mail and I was excited to see my Foundation Paper Pieced Santa A-Line dressed included in the holiday issue. It’s always hard for me to work on things behind the scenes that I can’t share with you yet and I REALLY wanted to share these photos a few months ago. But I contained myself and kept them to myself (and my mom) until I could finally share.

Happy 10th Birthday, Savannah!
Dear Savannah,
Today you are 10 years old. Yep, that’s right…..double digits!! What an amazing milestone for you sweet girl! It’s hard to believe that you made me a mama a decade ago. How is that possible? It seems like not long ago at all that we brought you home from the hospital not having a clue about parenthood and all that came with having baby. But you helped teach us and show us the ropes. There are many things I would like to remember about you when you turned 10 years old and some things I think you’d like to know about your 10 year old self.
