to all beginers i recomend to use a seam guide, it helps a lot to keep your seams straight while you are learning, don't give up, sewing like everything is a Lot of practice,
here's a seam guide so you can see what it looks like, the goggy dress is not an easy item to start sewing with...LOL so is pretty good for someone that has never sewn a line in their life...
