Little Blue Dress

I know what you're thinking.

"Wow, that dress is weird and baggy on one side, and you can tell it's too tight because of the way the buttons are pulling."

"Why aren't her feet in the picture?"

To answer you, yeah, I know it doesn't fit. That's my latest sewing project. I bought a few dresses at the thrift store so I could practice sewing on them, and this is the first one I finished. I'm not super good at making things fit yet.

Two, my feet aren't in the picture because I was wearing tennis shoes.

Back to the dress.

 Good:
1. I like the fabric.
2. I like the seam down the back. (I seem to have a thing for seams down the back: see?)
3. I like the length, though it could have been a bit longer.
4. I turned the dress into something better than what it originally was.
5. With this project, I made my very first sewing-machine buttonholes. 

Bad:
1. It doesn't fit, and never will.
2. The buttonholes are horrible.

Overall, despite the fact that this dress is totally unwearable, I consider it a victory. Every one of my projects brings me closer to the glorious day when I'll be able to make a sewing post without a Bad section.
