Really Ugly Dress

So this was my first sewing project I made with my new sewing machine. I was so excited to make something I couldn't even breathe. I bought a couple books on sewing, but since I hate reading manuals, I had to jump right in to make something, anything.

I decided to make Mila Monster a dress using an old Marimekko fabric that I had.

I used an old beat up t-shirt from my husband to make a ruffly trim. This t-shirt was so old, it had holes everywhere.

Here's a closeup on the ruffly trim.

And here's a photo of Mila Monster looking like, "Get me out of this god awful dress."

I'm sorry Mila. I promise my next attempt will be after I've read a few chapters in my sewing books.

First attempt... embarrassing!
