Finally conquered my fear

I made my first jersey knit wrap dress!!!!!!!




And I love the way it came out. I so was happy that it worked out because I would've hated having to trash this fabric.





I made this dress using V8379 View A. This pattern was great and pretty quick to put together. I did a FBA only to realize thatI really didn't need to. The great thing about this pattern is because of the side pleats I was able to distribute the excess there. Now I know for next time. I would definetely makes this dress again.

I'm also a convert. Check out my new purchases.



I haven't used it as of yet, but I did used it to cut scrap fabric and rotary cutter cuts like butter. I love this thing. Definetely worth the money I paid.

Well, I have some unexpected time on my hands so look for frequent projects and posts.
