The cutting table

I've been cutting out a dress I'm hoping to make for a wedding in two weeks time! The fabric is a piece of shot silk I brought back from Vietnam about four years ago. I've been inspired to give dress-making a go again after watching The Great British Sewing Bee on TV.

@anazad511 It's a long time since I've done any dressmaking so I made up the pattern in cotton first to make sure it would fit and also to make sure that I liked it!

Looks lovely Judith! I used to do a lot of dressmaking, so I recognise the layout! Your fabric is beautiful.

It's many years since I've made a dress. This looks very pretty. Hope it turns out well.
