First attempt at dressmaking

Adam&Emma

Being a woman, emma just said to me "why the bloody hell have you made a summer dress in December!!". :rolleyes:
Anyway this is my first try and im quite happy with it. Its just a basic skater dress. Followed a video on good old youtube. Made the pattern from an old bedsheet (from the van so i wont be needing that anymore :whistle:)
Dont ask me what the material is as i dont have a clue. Just picked something that i liked the look of. Its lined with a white silky material, again not a clue what it is lol.
Definitely gonna make some more. Its quite relaxing even when i had to unpick half the damm thing.... Twice :wall.
And now my 2 other lodgers are pestering me for their own dresses. Watch this space.. This week the kitchen, next year the paris catwalks

 
Ye gods Adam, is there nothing you can't do? :eek:

Just look at how even that skirt is. I hate you. :D Seriously, one of the reasons I don't buy cheap skirts is because I hate that ugly AF rise and droop in the hemline when it hangs straight. And it's bloody common too. No way to check for it until the thing is delivered, so a lot of them have gone straight in the bin. Fantastic job mate. :tu

Her expression really does convey that too :21
Once she got over the surprise hopefully she was appreciative of the effort. ;)
A great success - we all agree here :b:b
 
Elena...Uncle Adam made a dress for Emma!

Does he have a site to order them from?

Hmm looks like there might be a bit of queue of people already.

Great job, Adam, having these girls around really does make us learn some unexpected skills:D It suits her well and looks to be a great fit on her:tu although perhaps a sexy Mrs Claus outfit would have been more suitable for the time of year:p
