Simplicity 8947...easy peasy

 So I have been lap swimming outdoors for a year now, and I really wanted to sew up a pool dress for fall.  (A cute simple dress that will get me through the gym to my vehicle)   I found Simplicity 8947 and new it was the right pattern for my pool dress . This is a super easy pattern to sew.  Here is the low down:

Pattern has a lot of ease. I sewed the Medium size with no adjustments.  The fabric I choose is a terry knit that I picked up from Hobby Lobby. For the dress, I sewed up image D, but I did use the arm pattern of image A.  I do like the way the dress came out.  I can totally see sewing this dress in a nice sweatshirt fabric and possibly adding some embellishments to the sleeve. However, the sleeves do need to be shortened a tad for my next dress.

Oh, I wanted to mention this dress could be sewn in a day.....I sewed it in a weekend because of other projects. 

Lastly, I re-filmed Paper Cut Out Collage.  The new video is less quirky and has more content.  Check it out:
