Newest Endeavor.

So after making about 4ish dresses I realized I was doing things wrong. I was informed that the fabric needs to be washed before I begin sewing. Ha, lucky me. Cotton shrinks (duh everyone knows that)--but THREAD does not. So ultimately this leads to loose stitches. YAY! No really, so I started again on the dress for my little cousin. This time I washed the fabric and did my best to sew on a straight line. And here is the finished project. (Keep in mind I keep making the same type of dress over and over. This is because I'm just beginning and I have not quite mastered reading a pattern quite yet. And to be quite honest the last time I tried to sew an arm hole it was a disaster. So it's easiest for me to forget about arm holes and sew straight across!

The fabric!
The dress. (It's a halter.)
Cute ruffle I added on the bottom.
I am still learning about sizing (my cousin is maybe a 7 in girls). After I cut the fabric I thought I may have cut it too short. So to make up for the shortness I added this ruffle and bought her a pair of leggings!
