I'm watching this very good video on dart manipulation, and I'm like, I think I can do that. Then I realized that I pick busy ass fabrics because, I in fact can't do that, and the prints hide my mistakes.

At least the prints are pretty. This one just has regular darts, but if there's anything wrong with the dress, you'll never see it.

I don't have the length I need, but I have the width, so more piecing for me. Another self drafted sweater dress yay. At least this is the lining. #sewing #piecing #dressmaking #patternDrafting

#sewing #oops #itsgonnabeokay #dressmaking If I keep saying piecing is appropriate, I won't feel bad about my inability to do math. My pleats which look fantastic btw, made the front of my skirt too narrow. *whispers* piecing is appropriate, piecing is appropriate.
