Hello everyone in this wonderful community @needleworkmonday.
Am glad for the new week and the new month
I am hopeful and positive that this month will be nice with us all.
Today am here to share with you the dress i made for myself.
I went to the fabric store and i saw some vintage material
I was confused on what to choose so i told the seller to make a choice for me
She selected few and told me to pick one from it
Well i had to select from the above photo the green colour fabric.
Here are the materials i used in sewing
- Vintage fabric
- Measuring tape
- Scissors
- thread and sewing machine.
I just needed a gown but i wanted it to be a bit stylish
So i decided to make the down part of it a bit stylish.
My first step was to cut out the upper part of the gown ,which i did after i might have taken my measurements.
For the down part of the gown i made gathers for it
My first plan was to create pleatings but there was no electricity for ironing
So i changed my choice and went for gathers style.
Firstly i used hand needle and thread to fix it and i later used the machine to make it more firmly.
The next step i took was for the hand of the dress.
I wanted a short sleeve hand and i cut it out
After taking the length and my short sleeve measurements.
After all that i sewed it all through joined all the pieces together and my dress was ready
Am glad i did something new for myself
And i am happy to share it with you all
I hope you will like it.
