I'm a Sewing Machine (ha, ha)

A local fabric shop, Fabrika, was having a sale this weekend that I couldn't pass up. So I made my first attempt at creating a dress by my own pattern. After many a trial & error, I finally finished! So voila! Not too shabby...there a few things I've definitely noted in my own head to work on for next time...But I must turn the sewing machine off for a few days! My eyes are beginning to cross..
