Finally saw Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. What a sweet movie! Very cute and funny, and it's so refreshing to see a movie about female characters that isn't some Steel Magnolias/Joy Luck Club kind of crap, where the older and younger generations have to bond over suffering and crying. It's much more interesting to watch them buy beautiful clothes and fall in love! Though for all the screwball comedy, it still touched on some real issues, with the effects of the Depression, and going into the war, so that it wasn't all froth, but style with substance too. All around a pleasant movie going experience. :)

Sewing not going so well. Attached the skirt on the pink Empire doll dress, but unfortunately, it looks less polished and fits less well than the first little tester dress I made out of scrap fabric. OY. The irony!

I think Miss Pettigrew is coming out on DVD pretty soon; it's definitely on my Must Have list!

I really haven't taken any pictures of my doll clothes yet; I've been meaning to for ages, but my control-freak mother keeps the only working camera we've got hidden in her dresser. I'm really going to have to go buy myself a camera soon, and when I do I'll post pictures of all the dresses I've made.
