And again...

I haven't made any progress on my Japanese language skills since last time, but I think this dress came out quite good. I'm not exactly sure what the fabric is, I bought it on sale at JoAnn's a few weeks ago, but I don't remember what the label said. Anyways, it definitely hangs well, which I'm learning is quite essential for clothing like this. And I made the right size this time too, so I'm clearly learning a lot!

It fits a bit differently than I thought it would based on the photo, but I'm thinking that this is a result of the model's {ahem} flatchested-ness. Oh well, it still looks cute I think. And I even broke my no-dresses-over-pants rule today because I wanted to wear it out so bad, but I've learned my lesson that tights and -27 degrees don't go so well together.

I've spent most of the weekend in the house (see above note about -27), mostly in the kitchen. Haven't done any sewing since I finished this project up Friday night. But I have crafted up one loaf of bread, one half-batch of vegan waffles (for one), one batch of hummus, and one batch of cran-apple oatmeal cookies. So I'd say I've been fairly productive this weekend. And despite the majorly freezing temperatures, it was sunny, so that made things all the more enjoyable.
