Baja Dress

I've been crushing on this dress from Shabby Apple ever since I first saw it last year (or so. . . . I'm not the best at keeping track of time now that I'm not in school/don't have a strict work schedule).



(Yes, I just pinned myself. No, I don't know how to log in to Pinterest without my Twitter account that I don't actually use except to enter contests).

The only thing I didn't like was the price tag and the colors. Fortuitously, I found this awesome knit fabric at Joann's in the red tag section and half off! Paired with Anna's tutorial on knit binding , a little bit of confidence gained from making a raglan pattern for Ansley's dresses (from At Second Street via icandy), and being able to visualize what stripes look like in a circle skirt, since Jen made it. This is probably my new favorite dress!! :)
