Did you draft the first dress yourself? It looks so neat and professional. How might I make such a dress? How long have you been sewing?

Thank you! And yes, I did draft my pattern myself. I have been sewing for about 14 years, since I was 8. I am always in my senior year of going to college for costume technology so...that helps too haha

Wow. That's amazing. How often did you practice? What type of projects would you recommend starting with? Thanks!

Well, I started out making things from commercial patterns - mostly simply dresses and halloween costumes. Then, after I learned to pattern, I made simple dresses, skirts and blouses. As I got better, I started striving to do more complicated pieces or whatever I wanted to add to my wardrobe. I sew just about every day - whether for class, productions or personal projects - so it keeps me growing.

Thanks! My great aunt gave me a sewing machine, so I think I'll start practicing daily now! Thanks for the tips.
