Sew Nerdy

I am so thrilled with this pattern. I have this problem with sewing (and other things in life) where if I see the finished project I can work backwards from there. However, if you give me all the pieces and a set of directions, I am SO LOST. This alone is the reason my husband has had to put together all of our IKEA furniture.

Many of the patterns I pick up are almost too detailed. Its like those directions from google maps that say "Make a slight right" except you aren't really turning at all, they are just overly detailed. I get lost every time with those.

Most of what I have sewn, I did by making my own patterns. However, I swooned over this one by Kwiksew, and rightly so. I felt like Dora at the end, I wanted to sing the "We did it!" song. It was awesome, just the right amount of instruction.

Unfortunately, it inspired me to buy a bunch more fabric, so now I have a bunch of dresses to make. The girls want to be "twins".
