I asked Baaba to sew up a dress in a beautiful red that caught my eye. Actually Comfort wore a new dress to church and I told her I loved the fabric - so she got me some. Now Baaba is asking what I want and I have a vague idea like straight down, maybe a small puff sleeve, blue solid on the top, and then I told her the things I don't want. Namely skin-tight bodices and arms like the fifties style. Good looking but claustrophobic trying to get out of.
Baaba began to create as she goes along. No patterns, no directions, just measurements and an idea of what I want. She sometimes draws things out on the material and then goes from there. It is amazing how she works.
