This is my first go at sewing a garment and using a sewing machine, I was helped a huge amount by my Mom so I can't really take all the credit. Also I got so excited at the prospect of sewing that I forgot go take pictures as we went along, but I just had to blog it anyway!
We found the pattern first then chose some yellow gingham to make the dress with. We worked using my Great Grans sewing machine, which looks very retro cool, but only does straight stitch.
I learnt what all the markings on the pattern mean, about cutting fabric, tacking, taylors tacks, gathering, doing hems, adding elastic and just practiced actually using my machine. Its a whole new world to me!
Here is the finished dress.
Here are the matching panties, that I need to check for size then finish off (on my own!).
