Well I have really like working on this, It went together really well. It is made of a Blue & Tan checked cotton homespun from Jo Anns. And made from The Sewing Academy Girl's Dresses Pattern. I choose the Natural Waist Bodice, Short loose sleeves, and a Lined Bodice. I aslo chose to pleat my skirt instead of gather.
The bodice went together really well and I mostly hand sewed it.
