Thought I'd post some pictures of the dress I've been working on. It's been quite an experience...took me longer than I'd bargained for, but it was a learning thing. I love the material on the bodice, and I like that the skirt flares just the way it should. Hemming it was a bit of a nightmare though. I shall now go and iron the thing, and I just remembered I'm supposed to make a mini-version for the doll the little girl is going to carry (waaah). I think the doll should be fairly easy. I'm planning to just give it a handkerchief skirt attached to a bodice similar to this dress.

This is beautiful, Rochita! I never knew you were so talented. I can barely thread a needle most days. *g*
I am always impressed with people who can sew entire garments. It's a wonderful talent.
Thanks, Maria. And thanks for dropping by. Sewing is pretty handy, but I don't have all the gadgets the true hobbyist owns. For instance, a true sewing afficionada would have an edging machine to give those edges a professional looking trim. I make do with the zigzag function on my machine.
thats a super talent! I can't but sew a simple pillow case only. I envy you!
Hi Mrs. Thoughtskoto,
I love your pic :) I think they make sewing over here quite simple. I mean, they sell the patterns in books, so once you have a pattern of something you like making, it's easy to just re-use it for something else, using different cloth.
I haven't been sewing a lot lately. too busy.
