Beginning Sewers, Take Note

I just read this great post on choosing a beginning sewing pattern over at A Dress A Day.

From the post:

I've been looking around a bit for patterns that I think would be easier, if not easy, for beginners. Being a beginner at sewing is a delicate thing: you want to make something that won't frustrate you beyond the bounds of human tolerance, but at the same time, you want to make something that you actually WANT to wear. As I said, delicate.

She lists the things that make this dress easy, and a few of the things that make it challenging. Be sure to check out the comments, as there are a bunch of good suggestions there, too!

Plus, how cute is that dress??
