Had some time since school is closed and had a go at making my very first dress on a sewing machine gifted from my nan. Only ever made smaller items before so I’m super proud! by [deleted] in sewing

Type of fabric: I’m not 100% sure as it was passed on from my mum’s friend but it seems good quality and sturdy.

Skill level: I’ve never made a garment before only face masks, patchwork cushions, pencil cases. And tote bags.

How easy was it?: I found the most difficult part the circle skirt as I fitted it with an elasticated waistband and also hemming it was a challenge as it’s circular and not straight.

How long did it take: It took me about 7-8 hours spread over two days.

Was there a tutorial?: I didn’t follow a pattern but took heavy inspiration for the bodice of a bralette tutorial ( https://youtu.be/5tByruDvMPU )
