The Camber Set

At the start of September I purchased the Merchant and Mills pattern for The Camber Set.

I bought some cheap denim look fabric.

Then out came the grease proof paper!!

I always trace the pattern as 

 I'm always a bit cautious about pattern sizes.

(High street sizes and pattern sizes always seam to differ)

The dress went together well until I tried it on!!

My measured size, which I'd traced out and cut, was too big!

So a quick adjust, sew down both sides and try on again.

I added some pockets which breaks up the plain front.

I love this dress, it fits and feels great.

Last week, whilst wearing dress one I made dress two!!

I had lots of the denim fabric left but wanted to add another fabric.

I had to re traced the smaller pattern.

But the dress came together really quickly.

I did have the beginnings of a cold/cough, so I left all the tying in of ends for another day. 

This time I added some side pockets. 

So the pattern cost £14.50 and the fabric was a bargain at £7.50 for 3 metres.

That's two dresses for £22 

I've since bought some fabric for a top!!
