My story

My current passion for sewing began in early 2013. I don’t remember how or where I came across The Dress. But I saw it, fell in love and wanted to make one for myself. This is the dress I’m talking about:

Eva Dress from Your Style Rocks

Except for hemming a curtain or two I have barely sewn a stitch since school. But I got a course on Craftsy about sewing knits on a regular machine and just jumped in. Fortunatley for me I ordered way more fabric than needed for the dress. Since I poked a hole in the top piece when ripping one of the shoulder seams, I had to make the top part twice. The finished dress is by no means perfect but I’m still proud of it! I’ve sewn a few more garments in 2013 and as with the Eva dress there are some issues with fit. I’ve sewn a few more garments for me during the year. As with the Eva dress I’ve picked a size and made no changes to the pattern so mostly the clothes are all a little bit on the large side. I’ve learnt a lot during 2013 and this year I will focus more on getting a good fit.
