Baaba is making me a dress from some red material that I fell in love with. I got talking about some other dresses that I had made the last time I was here and why I don't wear them. Baaba said, "I can fix that."
So she took of the sleeves and made another two and they look great. But when I tried on the dress (and approved of the sleeves) she said, this doesn't fit right. During the course of the evening she took apart ever seam and dart along with the zipper and then found the hem wasn't straight either. I don't think there was one seam she didn't redo. I have an entirely new dress that fits me much better. I can get out of it on my own.
Can't wait to wear both of my new dresses! I am just waiting on the button holes for the red dress as Baaba's machine for button holes is on the fritz. She has three machines and dreams about another one she saw that is fast and industrial. She is taking the red dress home to Cape Coast where her family lives and will finish it up while she is on vacation.
