It's not that it was too difficult, just took my sweet time moving through the stages and figuring out how to adjust the pattern and make the tunic into a dress and reversible. Now that shows are done for the season (which is a good thing, I need to watch less TV anyway), I can move through my projects a little faster. Next up, the laptop cover. 
My only big adjustment was to add the yellow ruffle at the bottom. Since my two fabrics were the same length, I didn't want either one showing through (the original version would have had a shorter lining)
It has its share of mistakes... still learning and all. But I think this will be a perfect weekend summer dress.

I don't even know what to say...I'm speechless. That thing is freaking adorable!!!!! Seriously, who the hell are you and why don't you live here???
Very nice job, Carina...your creations look wonderful. You're becoming more and more like your Mom, who is also a very talented lady on her sewing machine and in many other ways...
What you AND your Mom cannot seem to get right, though (I've been trying to teach your Mom as long as we've been married, I believe) is that "it's" means: it is or it has, as in: "it's not true"; "it's been a long day." On the other hand, "its" is a possessive pronoun, on the same level as "his" or "her" (his car, her laptop), except it's (it is)used for objects & non-person matters: "the car and its engine," the cat and its kittens," etc. OK? There'll be a quiz tomorrow, but I have my doubts; I still find these kinds of mistakes in your Mom's articles and papers...
Love, your Dad
Carina, good ass job! I have the hardest time reading those patterns, yours looks so cute. Can't wait to see photos of you wearing your creation! The ruffle is very you!
That dress is so stinkin' cute! I'm serious about coming down there sometime and hiring you to be my personal stylist and spruce up my wardrobe!
