One of the goals I was most excited about reaching for my 40 Before 40 quest (http://mamabirdy-happinessishomemade.blogspot.com/2014/07/40-before-40.html), was sewing a dress for my adorable neice, Scarlett. Mind you, I haven't sewn a piece of clothing in several years! I was a little intimidated by it all, but I was ready to accept my own challenge.

What I Learned:
- I went for a top instead of a dress. I didn't originally plan this, but I liked this pattern so I decided to go with it.
- How to use bias tape on the arm holes
- How to add a pocket and top stitching
- How much sewing challenges me and I like it!
- How to ask for help! I was completely stuck on the yoke of the top. I needed an extra set of eyes to look at the directions for me. I am not one to ask for help, but I gave in to my need. My wonderful Aunt M was just the person to help. She was able to help me translate the directions and get me past my roadblock.
