I was planning on posting pics of this dress ages ago but you know how it is.

Today, I finally put it on and Pj was kind enough to snap a few pics so you all could see. I used a modern pattern (McCalls 4769) view D and changed it a bit (you'll notice I left off the collar). At first, I felt like a big, scary polka dot monster but now, I kinda like it. The fabric was just some simple quilters cotton from JoAnne fabrics and I used brown vintage buttons.



Don't you love this sewing machine? Pj picked it up for me last year from a gal at his work who was getting rid of it. Like my grandma, I tend to collect lonely, homeless sewing machines.
