Starting off

Well I am trying some new things at the moment I have never blogged before so we will see how this goes!
In September I started a sewing course in dress making to be able to make my own clothes as I like different bits and wanted a hobbey! I wanted to show what I have been learning but also thought if I blogged about it then I could get tips from others!

SO what have I made since September,
1) a jersey dress that was a pain to make because of using a 37year old ELna machine that like to jam with Jersey material! it doesn't fit me very well but i did manage some pockets.

2) I then made a skirt with some gorgeous material from my Gran with a pattern that my lovely friend Catherine got me from a vintage fair. I'm proud of this because i added a zip made most  of it on my own and used an overlocker AND i've actually worn it out of the house!
Before making number 2 I got bought for Christmas a lovely Janome sewing machine which is lovely to use.

So that is what i have made so far! I will put pictures on to show you what I have done as soon as I can work out how to put them on here!
Bye for now
