my creative space - summer dress

In the last few sessions of my sewing course, I had worked on a summer dress.
I didn't have a pattern for this dress, it's basically assembled from 3 rectangles and a curvy trapezium (it's rather hard to explain...). I used a gather method, so it was a lot of fabric! Also, I couldn't finish the dress in the sewing course, so I had to do the finishing at home, with my mini machine.

This was how my tiny working table looked while I attached the last lace...
...the dress was like a monster, swallowing my whole table!

The finished dress.




Surprise! It can also be worn as a skirt!

Ta-daa!

I'm happy about how it turned out. I was so worried I wouldn't be able to wear it in summer since I couldn't finish it in the sewing course. Thank goodness for my mini machine!

    @vivi: danke vi (^^)
    di kursus itu modelnya elo bawa proyek sendiri, terus entar dibantuin, jadi tergantung elonya. gue buat dress ini pake pola ngarang, dan karena kebanyakan cuma segi 4 doang jadinya gak pake pola kertas, lgs digambar di kainnya.

    @Jo: hahah...your comment is cute XD ありがとう!
    I'm so glad I made it pretty much on time before my course ended (> <;
    Oh, and for this dress I learned how to use an overlocker! Wow, it's very convenient, and now I want one, too! (no way, waaaay too expensive XD)

    @Trudi: thank you! Yes, it's almost a miniature, so you see why I couldn't have finished the whole dress with that machine!
