Make gator dress.

I went to JoAnn's this week and found Gator fabric for $3.50 in the fabric bin!...but I didn't know what the heck to do with it. So I was looking on Urban Outfitters and saw this adorable simple dress and I decided to make it.

To make something, I usually look at it pretty thoroughly then get to work. I just started snipping and sewing and in a few hours, I was done! This is the result!


I've honestly never really made a dress by myself before this one. I've deconstructed existing clothes and I've made dresses with my mom, but never by myself. I took a break from sewing for years. I would alter some items because nothing ever fits right, but I never created anything. Recently, I just started making stuff again. I don't even know how I do it, because I've never done some of the things I do. I guess I'm just observant...
