Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is the first thing I’ve ever made, period. It was a fun day I spent figuring out how to put it together, but in the end, it came out alright. I messed up the pleats a bit, but for my first-made item, its not bad. I didn’t use a pattern for this, I just played it by eye.
Material Notes
Black eyelet, black poplin, elastic

Definitely a great job, especially for a first garment. I love the style of the dress as well, it’s so unique.

What a great job! For your first ever garment it looks amazing! I love the accessories you put with it. Your room looks like mine did when I was your age, covered with fashion pages from magazines! Keep sewing, you’ve got a good thing going!
