"6 beautiful dresses stand before me"... lol who gets this reference?
In this video, I share 5 handmade dresses I wore on repeat this summer and 1 that I didn't wear at all. I was surprised at what I found out when I reviewed the dresses I wore this season. The 1 that I didn't wear at all is actually one of my proudest make! Take a tour through my closet and learn about my favorite handmade dresses from this summer!

I like to review the dresses I have and have not worn at the end of a season to make better plans for future sewing projects and to make sure that I revisit forgotten and neglected makes! Do you do the same?

Try those sticky pads in place of a strapless bra.

You mean like those things that look like chicken cutlets right? 😂 I used those years ago! But they never last very long. They lose the stickiness after a wash or 2 for me :(
