Sew Slow!

Historically, I have been a very slow seamstress. Well, not necessarily slow...I just tend to leave my own projects sitting incomplete for quite a while. Over two years ago I bought a couple of the Built by Wendy, Simplicity patterns.

I made one of them almost straight away, and now, two years later, I have finally finished Simplicity 3835! It's not perfect... but for me to finish a personal sewing project at all is pretty remarkable. And it basically fits.



I thought I'd better document it straight away (hence the untidy hair and no makeup) as it is so rare for me to finish a personal sewing project!

As I mentioned, I bought the pattern over 2 years ago and I've had the fabric even longer. Thrifted fabric and scarf, used for the arms ties, from St Vinnies store for only a couple of dollars.

Don't look too closely as I didn't do too well on the arm ties and the neck band is a little wonky too. Otherwise, I feel it came out ok. The arms are a tiny bit too tight... if the fabric had a little stretch they might be perfect.
