This dress.<\/a> I whipped it up last night on a sewing machine<\/a> that I hardly deserve. As per the instruction in the pattern, it only took me eleven stitches and a half an hour, but that seemed like a lot of work at the time. And the belt isn’t really working, but it’s a good excuse to shop for a wider one. This dress. I whipped it up last night on a sewing machine that I hardly deserve.
