I learned sewing during my high school days. This is one of the vocational courses I freely got from studying in the Sisters of Mary, my Alma Mater.
My mother-in-law, as supported as ever, has her sewing machine fixed for me. This machine was bought more than a decade already. It's a Fantasia model from SINGER, a well-known manufacturer of sewing machines. Although it's an ordinary machine run through pedal, it is efficient still. You can adjust sewing pattern to zigzag, straight or combination if you want.
Here are some of the photos of my 2 year old daughter wearing the dress and the ruffled hat I
sewn for her.
I adapted the patterns from Sacred Spiral while the dress, I patterned to her dress with Dora applique. I just made some revision on the shoulder strap. Instead of having it closed, I just used ribbon. Then I attached pink ribbon on the waist line to accentuate.
For mothers like me who wants to give their daughter dress with personal touch, there are free pattern designs available in the web. Try browsing Free Needle and you'll find lots of them...
Goodluck!!!
