Phew, after a whole day of sewing and unpicking (but mostly unpicking) dress #6 of my 27 Dresses Challenge is done! I have to admit, I’m proud of this one.

A whole month of no sewing (craaaaaazy!), no blogging but way too much non-stop studying. Finally. Exams are over, all deadlines met and I have (at least part of) my life back.
