What I learned today!

I'm so sorry you are unhappy with your dress. :( That really just stinks when you put time and effort (in no small amounts) into a project and then don't love the finished results. But! You've learned a good lesson. :) And now you know what you enjoy wearing, so you can go forth and serge t-shirts to your heart's content! The very best part of making things for yourself is how good you feel when you know it looks good and You Made It! So if it's t-shirts and comfy pants that do it for you, then more power to ya! Nothing at all wrong with being comfy.

And we'll just put you over next to my mother. She would rather wear pants to just about anything. She has a cute figure, and a Great set of legs. But she loathes how she looks in dresses. When she ***has*** to wear one she always says "Ok. Look. I do have legs." lol

So whatcha making next??? :)

The thing with dresses is that I've never liked them. Always put it to the fact that they didn't fit well. My life sstyle is very casual and relaxed. If I have to dress up like a big girl it's in evening pants and a lovely top. When I returned to hospital nursing many years ago it was after pants were permitted in hospitals. I was in 7th heaven. When I worked in a school the last 11 years of my working life it was in pants. They just made sense to me. The dress thing is always "well I'll give it one more try." Next 3 projects are 2 princess dresses for DGDS and new curtains for my living room. Tomorrow I start sewing for the first princess. It's Simplicity 4647, it's supposed to have an over skirt.. I'm doing it a little different than the pattern. I'm making the overskirt as a separate piece , like a skirt so it can be worn with or without. The top is purplr and the skirt looks like a watercolor painting of flowers, It's white background, pink and purple flowers and green leaves.The over skirt is a purple tulle. The curtains are white muslin with a blue edge that I'll do on the serger. Juno

Right on that point, Juno. Emily
