Well, I finally got my sewing blog up! And I made this sixties color block/harlequin dress for my second project.Let’s just say it looks nice from a distance, but I bit off more than I could chew. Take a look at my blog Sew Sixties for more on the trials and tribulations of this project.

i think your dress is awesome astrid!! just checked out your blog– you sound just like me! i am trying so hard to learn to sew a vintage dress that i can actually wear (big pile of mistakes in my closet)- glad to know i am not alone:) keep up the good work!
Thanks for the compliment! I love being able to share all my trials with others in the same boat. It makes me feel less alone as I sit there bonding with my seam ripper.

I'm sure we are our own worst critics when it comes to our mistakes. My husband is always telling me that no one would notice if I didn't keep pointing them out.
wow, what a cool mod dress! it looks really great on you too.
Thank you! ; – )
