my first properly constructed garment!

[Katherine Brengle]

I decided to bite the bullet and buy a book - this dress is light years beyond the others I've made in terms of construction - very exciting stuff.







(The fabric is a bedsheet I found at Savers for $2.99!)

4. Your daughter is a delightful model!

The shaping is nice too--guess you have to be careful what parts of the fabric to select to get good matches with so many panels.

8. Thanks - I tried to cut them next to each other as much as possible.

11. There is some serious sewing in that.

All those lines and everything looking so perfectly done--you've got real talent there.

I've since finished a really fun one off of a pattern but my digi cam batteries died!
