To be honest, I can't really differentiate between what I accomplished this past weekend, and what I finished today because it's all kind of one big blur of staring at fabric. BUT! what I do know:

Since the last time I posted, I cut out all of my fabric pieces using the patterns, and I finally began sewing! ayayay!

Apparently sewing machine needs a special foot pedal specifically for invisible zippers (which is what I bought), so I went and bought some today. I brought the new pedal attacthments home, and I still haven't figured out how to connect it to the machine. If the machine's too old, I have another- much newer- sewing machine I can borrow, but I'm gonna google it or something tomorrow. I didn't want to deal with that, so I ignored it for now and moved on. 

I sewed a basic dress together and then today, my friend came over after school so that I could fit it onto her. I ended up cutting off a huge chunk of the front portion which sort of means that I spent a lot of unnecessary time with the pattern part of it anyway. On the bright side, I finally have something I can call a dress! But it's actually not a dress.. it's just the inside of it, but its something!! (:

Hopefully my friend can come over tomorrow so that I can alter the back. I should've taken some pictures while it was on her but I was too "in the zone" and didn't even think to take any.
WHEW. Today was kind of a long day...
