Fabric to Dresses

My friend Susan offered to teach me to make a dress that I have owned for many years and it is fraying and can only be worn around the house.  We went fabric shopping and I bought this knit fabric.

I also had a maxi dress that was way too long for me so I brought it along as well.  We first laid out the fabric and used a pattern she made from my dress.

I then learned how to use a serger.

And then used two needles on a sewing machine for a rolled edge.  The dress came out great.

I then repeated on the next fabric.

And ended up with a pile of discards.

And four new dresses and an altered dress.

Next session will be yoga pants.
