Coco. Always. And Forever.
Well, it's done.
And it only took a little over 5 months. To be honest, the actual construction was super straight forward and easy to follow. Tilly's Pattern and Instruction Booklet was a dream for this novice. I just got scared back in March, and then I got busy, and then distracted.
But last night, after weeks of giving myself a pep-talk, I sat down and sewed this darling up.
It's pretty cute on, I promise. I'm wearing it today to work. I will get up the nerve to post pics of myself soon. I promise.
Anyway, I'm back! Hopefully. And I have decided that I am going to sew up a few dresses and knit t-shirts using this pattern and some of my estate sale finds. It's gonna be great practice, which I definitely need. I'm pretty sure one of the sleeves is in wrong, but like Lauren always says knits are forgiving, and easy. I'm going to try to keep this in mind as I move forward.
Thanks Tilly for the sweetest pattern ever!

What Happened?!
Did I really just take an almost 6 month break from sewing? I did! And I feel awful about it. But I'm back, and will have a few updates to post soon.
Unfortunately I broke my no-buy for make-up. But I am still hanging on for the the RTW 365 no-buy. Also, I just ordered this guy from Amazon and I can't wait to start messing around! I might tackle this guy to celebrate?!?!
We'll see what's in store!
To get back into the swing of things I finished up these two old bags.
I wish that I had enough of this main fabric for a top, but no!
And I took an inside, as well as an outside, photo of this one (because I thought that it turned out pretty cute!).
Stay tuned!
