I know, I know NOT BAD right? LOL well, if I do say so myself...
All kidding aside- sort of. I was happy with how it came out at this stage...I could have just hemmed the sleeves and neckline and been done with it....then I started looking closely....then my need for perfection kicked in...and THEN I decided that I had to REDO the skirt and add sleeves and a collar. ALL of which I had no business doing because well this is my THIRD project and sleeves? Really? That's a little advanced. BUT I did it anyway and ruined the damn thing. Greeeeaaat.
I turned it into this. Complete with holes everywhere where I pulled the seams out. Sigh. I suck. Look at those sleeves....pure floppy awesomeness. I don't know what's going on with the collar- and the skirt is now all angly and holy. Rock on.
Oh well. It's now a nice gown. Addy loves it anyway because anything with Elmo and Cookie- no matter how hideous- is like fascinating rare art in her eyes. I love how easy to please she is.
I learned a lot though. Like knit sucks to sew with and tears easily. And how not to add a ruffle skirt...I sewed it on backwards at first. Oops. Oh and just leave well enough alone.
I might revisit this project again...we'll see. :)
Next up...shirring!!! I've gone sew crazy!
