The making of I

Before making the actual dress, I did a practice piece to ensure that I know what I was doing. As I never really used a sewing machine before, the practice piece was important in guiding me to get acquainted with the sewing machine.

Tracing the pattern onto the testing fabric

After tracing the patterns, I had to cut the fabric and sew the fabric together using the sewing machine. Initially, it was difficult to get used to the sewing machine as I did not know how to use it properly and hence my fabric kept getting stuck in the machine. It was a nightmare.

It was a mess

Thankfully, my friends helped me and sped up my process of getting acquainted with the sewing machine. Goodbye to fabric getting stuck in the sewing machine!

After finish sewing the practice piece, I cut strips of paper of varying thickness and played around with the placement of it to visualize where I am going to place my wood veneer.
