Kupo! I was super excited to see this month's Monthly Stitch theme: geek out! I've been thinking about making a moogle hoodie for a while, and this was the perfect opportunity.

Say hello to the last project I sewed up before moving! June was Indie Pattern Month, so I decided to go with an indie company that I'd never used before: Closet Case Files.

Cambie #4: The Instruction/Conference Dress
I have a confession: this dress and blog post have been complete for about two weeks now, but this is the first opportunity I've had to take pictures. Oops. Anyway, say hello to Cambie #4!
