Well as a return to the art of the needle I have decided to start with McCalls pattern no M5292, a nice simple (?) vintage-esque dress (variation C). After an entire afternoon reading, cutting, pressing and pinning I finally have it put together on Bettie (my dahling model), and d'ya know, I'm damn pleased with the result lol. Of course I'll have a play about with the pieces over the next day or two to get things 'just so' but all in all not too shabby a job even if I do say so myself. It was fun rediscovering the fun of personal tailoring, but not so much the back ache it brings :S Well I may have something to show for my efforts by the end of the week - woohoo! Start as you mean to go on eh ;)
