Snow glorious snow!



I could hardly believe it when it snowed and college was closed for a few days. It was a perfect beginning to the start of the new year! As well as providing extra revision time for my AS History exam, I was able to make a start on making my green dress. It has been in my sewing box for ages and was in desperate need of some T.L.C. Having said that, I gave up after coming to a problem- the hem was longer on two sides.

As you can see from this photo, I realised that I should have matched the hem line first and then worked up. It is amazing how the obvious things are sometimes the hardest to work out!

The dress is based on a simple Medieval gown and with that amount of fabric it must have been for a wealthy noblewoman. I have to admit I am dreading putting the sleeves in, as I have never done that before.
