September is Sewing Month! I Made a Dress!!!!!!

And Katy over at No Big Dill is having a show-and-tell!
This is my 'I never done none of this stuff before' entry
Okay, here we go, stuff I never did before:
Cut a pattern
darts
making bias tape
sewing said bias tape around armholes (I used a brilliant tutorial from Amy Karol at Angry Chicken)
sewed in a zipper

Now, admittedly, the fit is not great, and that neckline kind of makes me look neckless. And the dress is NOT finished. 
BUT I MADE IT!!!! I MADE IT ALL BY MYSELF!!!!!!!
PLEASE IGNORE MY FAT ARMS AND ARMPITS!!!!!

  1. First of all, you are so not fat! Secondly, awesome job! I can sew buttons on and patch holes in clothing but I fear if I tried to make a dress it would be hella-wonky.

  2. Diane...it IS hella wonky. But I am not mad because my sewing guru Megan told me that it was going to be wonky.
    I am just glad it resembles a dress!!!

  5. Excellent job! I love the fabric you used. I'm impressed with your bias tape making skills, that's something that I'm definitely hesitant to try.
