almost done with my first commercial pattern dress

hey guys! i am super stoked right now that i have successfully constructed my first commercial pattern

i will get more deets and a photo shoot to you as soon as i am totally finished.

i still need to:

remove some basting stitches

add a hook and eye

hem the bottom

but the dress is looking real good!

i am making Butterick 5209 View B and this was my first post on the progress.

well me and my teacher never could get to class at the same time and i dont have extra free time to be waiting in parking lots

so i just took to youtube and some of my favorite sewing blogs and decided to give it a go on my own.

today i told everyone i will be lost in my own world sewing.

i almost finished too and think i could but then id be a zombie at work tomorrow

so here are some picture collages i made along the way today

blogger would not upload my pics from when just the top was done, this was the only one:

then i had the lining all attached and only needed to prepare the skirt to be attached to the top

 and here is where i stopped tonight

i looooove everything about it and feel so proud

off i go to catch some much needed Zz's

xoxoxo
