Speedy Dress

After anguish and drama trauma trying to deduce how to sew
 (well anything)
But specifically the peasant shirt
I whipped this up


Brilliant idea really.
She sends you all the material already cut into appropriate pattern pieces
and then instructions
and, even I got through it quickly!

Super satisfying!
I bought this about a year ago thanks to my smarty crafty cousin Kendall
but a year ago the instruction gave me rickets
today I am still a terrible seamstress, 
less terrible
 but MUCH braver
i think that's good :)



Oh and it passed the spinning test



This is my favorite snap of the day


I think it says it all.
