My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #426

I recently rediscovered this adorable retired MFT set in my stash.  It brings back many memories for me of clothes (including my wedding dress) and doll clothes that were sewn by my mom and grandma.  Sweet memories!!

The current sketch challenge provided the perfect opportunity to give the Sew Nifty Die-namics and stamp set some inky love.

I started by selecting designer papers from My Mind's Eye Sunshine paper pad.  The base panel was machine stitched with my sewing machine that I've had since college.  I love adding machine stitching to my projects.  A great embellishment, easy and cheap!

The dress forms were die cut with coordinating paper.  A pearl accent, silver die cut scissors and sentiment finish the card. 

Thanks for stopping by for a closer look!  Do you pull out older sets and ink them up?  I definitely need to do this more often. 

I'm sharing my card with the following:
