So, I finally broke down and bought myself a tripod, so I can take photos of my sewing without making my husband take them for me. Hooray! I still feel a bit awkward taking them (read: very, very awkward, as evidenced by my weirdo face in some of these photos...) but at least they'll get done now.  Anyways.  I've had this photo saved on my pinterest board for years. I just love everything about it... the happy colors, the model's hair, and especially that clementine shirt. I've been on the hunt for a similar fabric ever since, and a few months ago I stumbled on this papaya fabric in the quilting cotton section of Joanne's. There were exactly 3 yards left on the bolt, so I snatched it up and decided to make my first ever Kalle out of it!  Now, the Kalle Shirtdress is a bit of a cult classic in the sewing community, so I was able to scour the Instagram hashtag, and sort of figure out what modifications I needed to make, without making a toil...
