Simplicity 8124 - Make a dress in a few hours!

 



First of all, the sound at the beginning of the video is a mess. It does get better! I was so disappointed because I did a soundcheck and it was fine. :( Hang on past the overview and it is much better! 

This adorable pattern is a great one for a new sewist. It only took a few hours to cut out and sew. This is a project you can make in the morning and wear in the afternoon!

Purification spray to keep the odors away!
