My latest sewing project was making a dress for Ellen. This should have been a simple and quick project, but factor in two little helpers and the difficulty level and completion time tripled. It's hard enough to get a 22 month old to sit still for a few seconds, but try getting measurements and pinning a dress on one. I needed a timeout after that. Once I started sewing the dress, Todd wanted to help me press the "gas" pedal which would have been fine, but he only knows one speed and it's super fast. We managed to finished the dress in under 3 hours. I'm pleased with how it turned out, but Ellen may not want to wear it again. While we were pinning the dress, she stuck her finger with one of the pins. Now when I put the dress on her, she says, "No Mommy, off." I just hope she forgets getting stuck and wants to wear it this summer.
