My 5th Dress- 60's Boho with Bell Sleeves


I'm almost done with Simplicity 8234 (View 1). I'm using this black and white patterned fabric I got at Joann's (100% cotton). Almost done. So far no major disasters. Just a few minor crises. I bonded with my seam ripper a few times. I think I should name my seam ripper, since I spend so much time with it ; - )

More to come, along with pics, in the next few days. I wanted to finish it tonight, but I've learned that I tend to rush when I work late night and then I pay for it by making a bunch of mistakes.

  1. I still use my seam ripper on every project, and I've been sewing for close to twenty years! :) I still make "stupid" mistakes! I think you are doing so great for someone learning to sew from books! Good grief! Your projects keep looking better and better. Keep it up!

  4. @Amy & @Sew Loquacious Angela: It seems we are all "besties" with our seam rippers. Ha ha! Anyway, the dress come out quite as I had hoped, but at least I learned a lot.
