Shortly after the new year began, I eagerly kicked off project: sixteen zippers when I discovered that my stash of sewing notions contains sixteen brand new zippers that deserve good homes in wearable garments.

Several months later, I’ve finally started on the first one — a dress made of black, white, and black and white fabric. (Oxford comma, how I love thee.) So tonight I’ve been cutting…

sewing…

and keeping my fingers crossed that the dress will fit the sweet girl who’s sound asleep upstairs.
