Today Bec has started her denim skirt. I've shown her the do's and don'ts with cutting out, and that's it for now as I don't want to overload her (and make it confusing and boring!) She wants to make this skirt all herself, so we chose a rather easy pattern that I already had, and used some denim that was in my stash. We will continue tomorrow with the 'fun stuff'.
She will be sewing view E for the yoke, but have the bottom section of the skirt view F, which is slightly more flared.
It was nice to watch her do her thing. I recall sewing my very first halter neck dress at the age of 10, and was pretty well 'hooked' from then. It was such a lovely fabric, Mum was a demonstrator for a sewing machine company, and took me to a fabric store around the corner from her shop. I remember sewing the dress where she worked....with one onlooker saying to his wife "If she can sew, so can you!" Mum sold a machine that day.
We are off to Busselton next week, so hopefully she can finish this in time to wear it on our holiday.
Way to go Rebecca. Hope that you get it finished in time for your holiday. Learn as much as you can from your mum she is one very talented seamstress.
