A day or two after my last blog post I went to Spotlight and bought myself some sewing things that I thought I may need. I got some material to make a dress and a few other things like zips, a seam ripper and matching colored thread. Afterwards I went to an op-shop and from there I picked up a king size bed sheet that had a nice pattern on it. It was only about $2 dollars so I thought I could cut it up and make a practice dress out of it.
In the first place I planned to use my mums old sewing machine...
But it looked as though it existed when dinosaurs did and I just couldn't figure it out.
So I got out our other sewing machine, that honestly wasn't much better, but at least I knew how to work it..
I modified and used
this pattern and cut my material.
This is what I ended up with.
I then pinned my material and began to sew.
It was all going great.. until my machine decided to break.
The unhappy end.
