I used a vintage fabric to make a dress for myself.

Hello everyone in this wonderful community @needleworkmonday.
Am glad for the new week and the new month
I am hopeful and positive that this month will be nice with us all.

Today am here to share with you the dress i made for myself.

I went to the fabric store and i saw some vintage material
I was confused on what to choose so i told the seller to make a choice for me
She selected few and told me to pick one from it

Well i had to select from the above photo the green colour fabric.

Here are the materials i used in sewing

  • Vintage fabric
  • Measuring tape
  • Scissors
  • thread and sewing machine.

I just needed a gown but i wanted it to be a bit stylish
So i decided to make the down part of it a bit stylish.
My first step was to cut out the upper part of the gown ,which i did after i might have taken my measurements.

For the down part of the gown i made gathers for it
My first plan was to create pleatings but there was no electricity for ironing
So i changed my choice and went for gathers style.

Firstly i used hand needle and thread to fix it and i later used the machine to make it more firmly.

The next step i took was for the hand of the dress.
I wanted a short sleeve hand and i cut it out
After taking the length and my short sleeve measurements.

After all that i sewed it all through joined all the pieces together and my dress was ready
Am glad i did something new for myself


And i am happy to share it with you all
I hope you will like it.

THANK YOU.

The gathers is beautiful too and I'm already thinking of borrowing your style. The way Power supply aways change our design sometimes is amusing.

My dear sister,most times we would have loved to create different designs
But when you are limited because of electricity it's just to think deeply and create another design
