    I had the same thing happen to me. I had a couple of fails, only I quite sewing for 40 years! Started back about 18 months ago and had some great results and some fails, but I’ve been having a blast.

    Some great makes there Megan. Our seasons may cross now with Spring coming here and Autumn there. I've just turned a corner on my Envigado vest, after a big fitting issue its starting to look great - hope to wear it for early spring in September. When Ive finished the 14 curtains I promised my son, I may make some spring pretties - that Rhapsody is a staple of mine too. Happy sewing!

    I sew for summer year round here in Arizona. I do have a few cooler weather things to make, but I still have a few things to get finished before I start those. It doesn't really get chilly here until about November. Loved your Rhapsody blouse! I have had that pattern for awhile now, but haven't made it yet. Your dress you made for the wedding is beautiful!

    Your dress is beautiful! I know what you mean, a challenging make can really rock one’s confidence. I haven’t tried the LN Rhapsody yet, but I did make the Ballard and it turned out beautifully. My challenges are typically sizing and pattern adjustments. I should always make a muslin with a new pattern. I often go back to a tried and true pattern to regain confidence (LN LaBella Donna or LDT for me).
