Check it out people. Made by my own fair hand. This demure little number is a Vogue "tres facile" pattern. Cost me $5 in a sale online. Fabric cost me £6 from Brighton's fabulous fabric shop C&H Fabrics (some people are a bit snooty about C&H Fabrics and say that it too expensive, but it's got a massive remnants section and the ladies are so helpful and willing to explain to a beginner what you need that it's worth the odd extra pound on fabric). With thread, the whole thing cost me just over a tenner to make and I spent about 6 hours on it from start to finish. I am NEVER shopping in Primark et al EVER again.
Next up, a lovely floral summer dress for D. Fabric and pattern sorted. About to get started. Looking forward to it!

I'm so impressed, words fail me. However, I think once you've got a few dresses under your belt, you should consider extending your portfolio, and would urge you to start here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/gallery/2009/jul/23/star-wars-exhibition
I REALLY want the Millennium Falcon Fascinator. A.xxx
I love it. Well done you. Very inspiring stuff. Also so important to show people you can make gorgeous stuff,really cheap!
Can you teach me to sew? We could sit in arm chairs with a pot of tea between us chatting about scandals in the village and the vicar.
