I made a dress!!!

Today I was very productive and made myself a dress .

using an old t-shirt

005

and some lovely light fabric

006

I measured from the neckline to under the bust where I wanted the material to sit

010

measured across and used some chalk to make the cutting line

011

Cut off the excess

012

Then, right sides together sewed together the raw edges for the material

013

Sewed together the top and the material

015

And there you have it a lovely floaty dress perfect the very hot weather we are experiencing in Perth at the moment

On a Christmas note I have also managed to finish my first Christmas present for this year Smile

  2. Thanks, The pressie is actually a sleeping mat for the child to take to things like sleep overs. I'm not 100% happy with it but I have 8 to make so I am sure by the time I finish I will have worked out the best way to do it :o)
