My aunt wants to have clothes that are sewn because A) they are cute. B) you can pick the fabric and C) you can get them to you fit better.
However, my aunt is just not that great at sewing said clothes. A few weeks ago she called and said "hey, I'm cleaning out my sewing room. I have a dress I started 3 years ago. Will you finish it for me?" Of course
I said yes. When the dress got to me I was excited. Everything was already cut out. All I had to do was put it together. She had started the bodice but everything else was still in pieces. Pinning and cutting is the most boring and time consuming part of making anything. So to have all that done already was awesome.
I took me just a few hours to get everything done to the point I just had to wait on a zipper. I finished the dress the following weekend because I couldn't get to a zipper during the week. But, now the dress is done after 3 years. It was great being able to just bust out a project without all the prep work.
I love the fabric and the pattern. Its kind of hard to see but in the front around the waist is a tie. It is decoration only. Each side comes around to the front and it ties in a knot. It is really cute and I cant wait to see it on my aunt.
