Chapter 2 - Almost ripe for picking!

So I am currently learning how to design and sew clothes from a dressmaker. She has been in this trade for 40 over years and I am lucky to learn from her. She has a tremendous amount of patience. Maybe sewing does that to you (I do admit I need that). And that is an additional benefit from investing time in a hobby that you love.


This is the first dress i've ever made in my life. I am an amateur, but a rather ambitious one. These are the two patterns that i've cut out for a simple dress with the cut inspired by Audrey Hepburn. It will have an elegant boat neckline and a deep-V at the back. I like that it's very modest in the front and abit playful at the back. The print is more of a 50's pin-up style.  It should be completed in another day or two! There are hidden slit pockets at the side to boot!
