Today i finished my first sewing project, a girl’s dress.

The dress is a bit big for my daughter the measurements i used was a sample dress that was given to me in my sewing class.
It may look good but dont let that decieve you, i messed up the sleeves.

I did not realise when i choose the fabric that it was designed by the talented Sandi Henderson. I had no idea that her fabric was available in Oman. When i asked where she got the fabric the from i was told that Aunty S buys her fabric from Dubai. I wish i could get more of this kind of fabric to work with i love the designs.
Today Aunty S came to me to see how i was doing and taught me how to make the sleeve, she actually sewed it onto the dress to show me how its down. She is a real darling unlike N1. I wanted to tell her that i am not very happy with N1 but thought that this being my 3rd lesson is not the right time.
I have until the end of the month so i will see how i go and i am still on the look out for a new teacher,i think i’d prefer a one on one. Shimmertje informed me that the Seeb Women Association will being sewing classes next month. I will give them a call this afternoon to find out more about it, will keep you informed.
Let me know what you think of the dress, i have bought some fabric to try and replicate what i did thats if i can remember the orders i was given lol
JUST AN UPDATE: The dress fits my daughter perfectly






wow….you have done it. Looks pretty…
Indeed i have, but the question is can i do it again?
It looks good, and the sleeves look OK even if you say you messed up. It’s a wonderful achievement!
Thanks Shimmertje, i let hubby take a look at it without mentioning to him where i messed up and he instantly noticed the sleeves lol oh well i think its not bad for a first project, now onto the next one
[...] a new group of beginners had joined and they were starting out with the girl dress same one i made here. So i thought to myself instead of feeling left out and being the last at everything the best [...]
