Accomplished

Like just about every other female, one of my favorite books of all time is of course Pride and Prejudice. One of my favorite parts of the book is conversation where the characters are deciding what skills a woman must have to be considered "accomplished." If you have read the book, and actually remember the scene then I think you'll agree that I have absolutely none of the many skills mentioned. Pitiful.

In case you are wondering, here is the list: paint tables, cover screens, knit purses, music, singing, drawing, dancing, the modern languages, extensive reading and "something in her air..." How did calculus and cupcakes not make that list?

Anyway, the point is I attempting some of the feminine arts and trying to learn to sew. Project #1 was a reversible pinafore that sort of wraps around for Miss Libby Lu and here is the model.

That is the only pose she would strike unless I gave her candy, she's a bit of an unorthodox model. The dress is very far from perfect and here is most of the problem.

Since the straps are a "tad" uneven the back of the pinafore has a little habit of gaping open when she moves her arms and thus showing the world her rear. Don't you just want to pinch those chubby little arms though? So cute!

I will end with this: To the experts, please don't laugh to my face. I can only go up from here. You have no idea how high I can fly.
