Dress progress

I am making serious progress. Little by little, I am getting better and better. I think one day I might make all my clothes myself, and not buy anything, nothing! But that day is still far off, I must say, but not so far off as I thought only a week ago. I have finished my very first totally home-made dresses. I have made several dresses before, although not as on my "own" as this one. This one I have sketched myself, drawn on to pattern paper using my own measurements, cut out, sown, re-sown, and re-sown a wee bit more. And now, or rather last week, it is finally totally finished. I am quite proud, although not completely satisfied. Of course, it could have been better. But I accept its flaws, it is still the very first dress I make. I am already in full progress on the second one, and also on a third one (a wedding dress) for my dear colleague. I hope to have improved enough by the time of the finishing touches on the wedding dress, as to let me be completely and utterly satisfied with my work. Please, admire the pictures on me (as soon as I can upload them), in my pretty green home-made dress. The picture was taken at my cousin's wedding this saturday. Nice huh?
