Making a Dress From a Pattern; Birthday Present

For my 21st Birthday my friends mum who used to make a lot of her own clothes took me to John Lewis for a day out to choose a dress pattern and some exciting fabric to help me make my own dress from start to finish. I had never made anything from a pattern before but was really excited to have a go, I learnt so much about the different stages of the make up of the garment and about the hem and interfacing that were all very new to me. It was such a lovely birthday present and something that will stay with me.
