I did it!  I finally did something out of this shirt that Kris gave me to "give away" a while ago.   That was so easy and my sewing machine cooperated until the very last stitch... on which the needle broke!  Since the pictures were taken, I added a few details on the "tic-tac-toe" pocket.

I plan on making many more and trying out some for myself  as tops.  

Don't let Carla's face fool you, she LOVES it and even sleeps in it! My first 2 sewing project have been very encouraging.  They both have been easy enough and mostly short to create.  I definitely feel ADD when it comes to sewing sometimes! But those little, simple projects have kept me exited and focus about my sewing for once in my life.

I will post more pictures of the dress in the next post.  Oh yeah , I forgot to mention that I forgot to take measurements for Carla's chest and so it turned out a tad baggy... but I don't think it matters too much.  Those little projects do teach me something every-time.
