Let's play a guessing game! :-D

My fabric didn’t get here Saturday as I was hoping. Finishing the dress shouldn’t take too long but I hope it gets here today so that I’m not sewing really last minute. :-/ Since I don’t have my main fabric yet, I sewed together my lining and made a petticoat to wear under the dress over the weekend. Also experimented a bit with folding kanzashi petals. Not completely sure if I got it right or not.


And since I haven’t done any memes for a while, here’s one copied from viewpoints.

Pick 20 movies/anime/video games/literary works and put their summaries from Better Than It Sounds and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.

I included some musicals, too, since there are a lot that I like. And for fun, I wrote a few of my own descriptions in the same vein for things that weren’t listed on that site. :-D
