the june sewing workshop with cal was on saturday. it was a great class! i remembered to snap a photos this time, but i was so absorbed with my sewing that most came out blurry. so i just have a few to show...

my dress turned out smaller than i expected (last two photos), so i'm planning on making another, one size up. amy's dress (the navy gingham) had a nice, looser fit. lunch was pasta, quinoa, and green salad, and our favorite student (ha ha!) brought a cheesecake with raspberry topping.
i'm already looking forward the next class... thanks again cal!

Yours might be too small but it looks lovely!

I think your fits nicely, it can be fine line with blouse-y dresses like that. It looks like you guys had a lot of fun, makes me wish I didn't know how to sew!
