New Dress, yo

Have you ever had one of those weeks? Where things are so crazy that you're not sure if Tuesday is Friday or Thursday is Sunday?

This last week was mine.

Without going into too much detail, a big project at work wrapped up after 12 weeks, and all of my energy was put into that.

So, not much time for crafts. Or cupcakes. Or anything else, like TV shows I love.

Last night, however, I had a chance to catch up with Project Runway. And it feels so odd now when I don't sew while watching the show. So with the best of intentions, I decided to start documenting a new dress for my girl.

I started with this -- some fabric left over from curtains I intended to make when I was pregnant with my daughter. Three and a half years ago. Yeah ...:

And then my dad called. He was coming in town for the weekend and wanted to know what I wanted to eat. So we chatted. I kept sewing. He came and we ate. And before I realized it, I'd finished the dress and ... no more pictures. I got all discombobulated and forgot to take pictures of the process!

Sigh.

So, no tutorial. This is how it looks now, though (I even made my own bias tape!):

But it was pretty simple. If anyone wants more details, let me know. Took about an hour and a half to sew, including time to make the bias tape.
