I remembered why I despise making anything from pattern. For those who have never done it, let me break it down for you. First, you have to cut out all these pattern pieces out of this material that is thinner than tissue paper. That takes me about and hour. (I have a toddler running around my house, blowing the pieces everywhere) I was so frustrated that I gave up after that for the day.
Next day, cutting out the fabric pieces. This task is even more annoying. I bought the recommended amount of fabric, which is also the minimal amount of fabric. So I spend forever trying to puzzle these pieces on my "recommended" amount of fabric. Then cut out the fabric pieces. This takes me an hour and a half.
I gave up after that for the day.
Day three, the most annoying day, figuring out the instructions. This entails seven one line sentences to make and complete the entire dress. Yeah right. I make up most of my own instructions on my own. Four hours later the dress is done........and it looks horrible on me! The dress itself turned out great, but not flattering at on me. I mean I took 12 different pictures of me wearing it, none of which was postable. So this was the only picture I got.I gave up after that for the day.
This is the final annoyance. I am over store bought patterns....over it.
Then just for fun.... since I complained this ENTIRE post... I will leave with the most adorable girl in the world.
You should laminate them first. I've also heard that you can use freezer paper to sturdy them up. P.s. I love that dress. Great color. Maybe I'll have to buy it off you. ;)
