I made a dress for my daughter using an old pillow case and some scraps of fabric that I had lying around the house. I had never sewn a garment before and so this was an interesting endeavour to take on and guess what? It paid off!

The process was fairly simple. I started by taking my daughter's measurements and sketched out a rough idea as to what type of dress I wanted to make. I then went off one of her current, store bought, dresses and used that as a template and made my very own dress pattern!

I have sewn some fleece pads and blankets for my guinea pigs before and so I know how to handle a basic straight stitch, which is what I used in this project.

Overall I am quite pleased with how it all came out. I am planning on creating more clothes, for her and myself in the future.
