This is the top and it was pretty easy. I didn't do the smocking in the back because I didn't want to learn something new on a big pattern. I'll try sometime on a plain smocked top dress and NOTHING else, possibly a hem.
I try to take my time and now that I'm in my 30's it's getting easier but not that easy, so when I read the pattern and it said cut on the fold and gave dimensions. I felt that rapid heartbeat and slight frustration, only made worse when I asked my mom (who I have never seen sew in my life) and she told me exactly what it said but with an air of understanding that annoyed me. I fugured it out and I'm probably the only one in the world that had to think about it.
I even took my time and zigzagged my edges. That's why I'm still not finished after 3 days. But hopefully it will last longer than 2 washes. Some of you may know what I mean.

I had to walk away from the sewing machine tonight because the thread broke for the third time in ten minutes and I felt angry. But I am almost finished and I think it will be SUPER cute.
