I've been a bit obsessed lately

With sewing. I've been doing an uncharacteristically lot of sewing. I'm so happy my sewing machine and I got over our past disagreements and are getting along just fine nowadays. I made this dress in one evening, started cutting the fabric somewhere after 5 p.m. and was finished by 9.30 p.m. Not bad for an evenings work, is it? ;)

I did make a few mods, I left out the bias tape that you were supposed to sew on to the neckline and armholes, and I notice now that my version is a mirror image of the original, oh well, it doesn't matter. (and apparently the pocket is sewn on a bit crooked..)

Anyhow, the girl loves it, crooked pocket and all. :D Altho when I went to take a pic of her, this is what I got:
See how excited a child can get about having her picture taken! Amazing! Well, in her defence, I did interrupt her right in the middle of the program she was watching, so who wouldn't be annoyed? I did manage to get a slightly better pic too, where you can actually see the dress:
Now that I look at it more, the pocket is really starting to annoy me. I might have to do something about that.

Fabric: something I found in Eurokangas ages ago :)

I also finally finished the hoodie. And that's about all I have to say about that. I just doesn't fit me at all, makes me look even, ahem, chubbier than I am. But I'm sure I'll wear it anyway, beacuse it's really warm. I think I might have said the same thing about something else before. In this pic you can see really well the difference between the dye lots, it's really obvious.
