Lady Bug Says ... Sewing My 1st Dress! Stage 2

Evening Lovelies!


Now I don't want to blow my own trumpet, but I am bloody proud of myself! The truly horrible weather on Sunday meant I was stuck indoors all day so took the opportunity to make a bit more progress with my dress!


5 hours, plenty of pinning and re-pinning, lots of scratches and a fair bit of swearing later this is how far I have now got!




My first zip!


Plenty of seams!

It's by no means perfect, but I am beyond happy with it!


All I have to do now is the hem, slightly adjust the neckline and take it in a little under the arms.


I have got over my fear of clothes making and will definitely be using the pattern I made for dresses in the future! Next on my list, the perfect maxi dress!

  5. This dress looks amazing, I love the fabric you've chosen! I keep meaning to teach myself how to make my own clothes but I'm lazy and have never quite got round to it yet!
