How long have you been sewing?

Olympia's Sewing History

 

"I started sewing little projects about ten years ago. After having gained a lot of self-confidence in sewing, I decided to try sewing my own clothes. Now, I really enjoy every single step of the process (from tracing the pattern to hemming the cloth). I am trying to consistently create a wardrobe full of handmade garments!"

"I wanted to make this project because this model is a very classy and elegant dress that can be worn all day long. Its details are so beautiful! I did not want to make any modifications to it. This model was sewn with faux leather and I did not encounter any issues during the project. In fact, I loved the whole process! It was a real challenge for me to sew with faux leather, but I am so happy with the result! I am going to sew the pattern again using another type of fabric. In all, this model took me between 5 and 10 hours to make."
