What I've learned from esewingworkshop....

Hi all,
I have incorporated Nehzat's bodice and skirt drafting techniques to make myself a simple vintage dress. It may not be perfect (my mistakes - not the teacher's!) but I am thrilled to have the know-how to finally get back into dressmaking and I'm loving it :)
Thank you so much, Nehzat - you don't know what this means to me.
Here are some pictures of what I've learned from your videos.
My dress
Not the best model - but hey, one's got to improvise ;) I did not hem the dress - an unsightly hem is my pet peeve, so I lined the hem too.
The back
OK - no comment here ;)
Side profile (Should have had hair up, but like I said - it's the model!)
I had issues with a gaping back but looked through some other messages on this forum and found Nehzat's suggestions of much help. TADA...Gaping practically gone!
Note to self: Need to work on those abs!
A close up of the neckline
The inside
I'm a firm believer that the inside must look as good as the outside
Once again, thank you, Nehzat. I'm sure I'll get better as I keep learning more. Will keep you posted with my progress.
....Back to drafting!

Dear Di,
Congratulations on your accomplishment. I really enjoyed looking at your dress from all the different angles and also your description.
Looking forward to see more of your project.
Happy sewing,
Nehzat
