Earlier this year I enrolled in my first Craftsy course
'The Couture Dress'. I watched all the videos before starting but couldn't wait for the course pattern to arrive, so decided to use the
Cambie Sewaholic Pattern. This is my fabulous new dress which I have entitled my Cambie Couture.
I so need to stop taking photos at the end of the day after I've worn it for a day - all you can see is sitting wrinkles!Susan Khalje is an amazing teacher, I really enjoyed her teaching style and techniques along the way. She effortlessly talks to the camera like she is talking to you sitting right in front of her. I learnt so much in this class that it has really changed the way I sew.
This was the first garment that I attached an interlining as well as lining. It gives the dress such a quality feel when it's finished and the dress sits beautifully.
The final product is just as I imaged it. I love the subtle pattern on the fabric and the green is perfect. The little black dress with touch of colour! Maybe I just need a green belt instead of a black one?
I am definitely making the Cambie again (great pattern) and I'm already onto my next dress using the couture techniques.
