Hi Guys!!
Although I've been sewing 2 years now, I still somehow consider myself to be a Beginner/intermediate sewer. I still have a lot to learn about sewing, but I feel that I'm good enough for the things that I like to wear.
So after services and clean up were over, I went straight to my room, threw on my pj's and went to work. It was almost midnight when I started. I tried to read through the pattern, but being sleep deprived and anxious made me confused and frustrated. So I had to connect the dots by looking at the picture until I got stumped. 4 Hours later...... the finished product..
I received quite a few compliments. I really loved it on a hanger, but when I put it on, I was so self conscious about my knees showing. My younger years as an athlete made them unattractive for camera. Lol... I was proud that I completed the project before sun up (4:15 am to be exact). Figured I would sleep later. That day was my son's 17th Birthday so celebrating was an all day event this year.
6 months later, I opted to attempt creating the dress in slow motion in my favorite color. I read the pattern and paid more attention to the details. It wasn't has difficult as first thought. I'm extremely proud of my second attempt. It has become my favorite. I think I'll use this pattern a few more times - modifying it as I go along.
Here's Take 2...

Beautiful outcome on both. I understand with the length of the first dress. In COGIC we often see women (as they should be) practicing modesty. I prefer a little length as well! Beautiful outcome on both dresses!
ReplyDeleteYes Yvonne. I came out of COGIC. Still under Pentecostal. So lap scarf is a must!! Lol.. The next one will be longer. Thanks.
DeleteBoth are pretty but I can see the difference in the way the second dress fits.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nea. I think the fabric choice also makes a difference.
DeleteGreat post! I give you an A+ for your determination on your first dress. Good for you. You did a great job on your dress. The second dress is beautiful and shows that you've gotten better at your skill. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time out to read my blog. Come back soon!
DeleteYou did a great job...... Love the color....
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I think next time I'll make the skirt a lot longer.
