A Sundress

I decided to take on the feat of sewing Camia a sundress once I discovered recently how much I actually like to sew. In February I went with a few of my aunts to Fabricland and picked out a pattern that I really liked. All of my aunts know how to sew quite well (one is a well-recognised quilter, and has had her quilts appear on the front of magazines), and I learned that the pattern name Burda is one of the most difficult patterns to follow, but I wanted to try it anyways. I started it about a month ago, and finally completed it today. The pattern itself was not that difficult to follow. That being said, on Monday morning I ripped the whole thing apart and started from scratch because it wasn't turning out the way I had envisioned. The second time putting it together was definately a better sucess than the first. 

Upon completing the hemming today, I put the dress on my wee model and discovered that, even though I had taken in the seams an extra quarter inch, the dress was way too big...It might fit her next summer.
