Simplicity 1195. Love the skirt, hate the bodice. Part of the problem is that according to the measurements I was between 2 sizes so the bodice is a little loose and I think that can be fixed, but the neck is kinda weird and I am not sure what to do about that. It is a mostly easy pattern but the bodice is lined and the sleeves and lining were a bit tricky to me. Probably not going to make it again.

Simplicity S9739. It is fast and super easy and really cute. The downside it that it is mostly one huge cut of fabric and then a few extra bits. Cutting out the very large piece is a bit of a pain, otherwise great pattern.

Butterick B6682. The fabric is from Spoonflower and I bought it years ago. Finally made something out of it. Yay! The hem line got a little weird when I made it this time because I didn't actually have enough of the fabric. I still like it though.

Simplicity 1370 A. Super pleased with this pattern. Might make even more later but moving on for now.

Simplicity 1370 A. Used the piggy fabric to make a muslin. Pretty pleased with it. Good fit. The pattern is pretty simple. Will make more soon.

Simplicity 8645 A. This is a muslin, I am making one for each variation of this top. They are all cows. I didn't faithfully follow the instructions. So mine doesn't have any boning, and it only has one big button instead of several down the back. I don't think I will make this one for real because I don't like the collar. I knew I didn't like collars before I made it, and variation C has a collar too that I assume I will also not like. Other than the collar it is actually a pretty nice shirt. The fit is very good, however I did mess up on of the sides and my seam allowances were probably too big, so this one was a little too tight but I will do better on the next ones.

Not sewing, but adorable! Husband encountered an armadillo on the way to work. It was very affronted by his greeting.

Simplicity S9394. This is the muslin. Going to see how it fits the boy child and then make it for real if it works. Didn't bother with the draw string because I am lazy. A quick and easy pattern.

Butterick B6682. Not a great photo, but I am really pleased with this dress. I had to make bias tape which isn't my most favorite, and the pattern has pleats and gathers, so I was putting it off, but it really wasn't that bad when I finally did the sewing.

I will probably make it again, but it takes a lot of fabric, so that is a downside.
