When it comes to sewing, I set my mind on creating something pretty extravagant with very little practice and expect perfection. Oh who am I kidding, that is pretty much me with any of my hobbies! haha A few days before leaving on our trip to California back in April (I meant to share this post sooner, but somehow it got lost within the draft archives), I was finishing up packing and really wanting to bring a floral maxi dress with me. With too little time to ship something I found online and no luck searching the limited options we have in this small town, I decided I'd sew a floral dress myself. I used this tutorial, minus the pockets on the front of the dress, and cut my own pattern out of parchment paper. I hacked out the dress two nights before leaving and sewed it the night before our very very early morning flight the next morning. haha Don't look too closely because the sleeves are a little tight and the neckline has two small spots where the fabric bunched but other than that, I was pretty pleased. I think my grandma would be proud! :)
