So I told you last week that I had a shirt to finish before I would allow myself to cut into this dress.  Here’s the shirt, for which I used Simplicity 2863 as a starting point, and made it up from there.  Not that it looks all that different, but I stopped following the directions when I realized that the pattern is intended for knits.  The material I used was, I think, acetate.  I don’t know for sure because I found it at an antique store last year.  And I honestly thought it was cotton until I got it home.  How does a somewhat-seasoned sewist make a mistake like that?

Anyway.

So I was showing my friend, Heather, the unfinished garment on Friday night, and somehow I found myself, well… you’ll see.

Do you have a friend who brings out your inner crazies?

Heather is that kind of awesome friend.  (So is Jacquie.)

WARNING: You’re about to see my home in disarray, unflattering use of the flash, and me, looking like an idiot.  Or a Floral Ninja.  Enjoy!
