Day 361: The Right to Bare Arms…er…Arm Dress
Some days I honestly just don’t want to bother. But I must soldier on! I’m so verrrrry close to the end of my 365 Day project!!!! The print on today’s dress is lovely, but the cut and the size aren’t quite doing it for me. I wasn’t in a sewing mood, so I started playing with my new dress, and pinned it in a couple of places.

This dress really isn’t that bad…but those sleeves must go! I grabbed my seam ripper and got to work! Once the sleeves were out of the picture, I sewed down my new arm holes. Now my dress is ready for an evening of theatre… …well Almost an Evening, which is the name of the show…
