Dress : DIY using NewLook pattern A6119 | Shoes : Payless
I am really excited about my latest finished sewing project. It is a beautiful maxi dress. If you’re a beginner sewer such as myself, this is a great pattern to start with. I found this beautiful blue and purple paisley print fabric, from my local Fabric -Mart. I used 3 yards of fabric and it was only $5.99 per yard. So this dress cost me less than $20 to make! Below is my pattern review. I promised those of you who have been emailing me, that I would try and give more information on my DIY’s, so I signed up for pattern review, so you can find me here. I will use their review template for my completed projects. So here is my first official pattern review.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

Yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

Very easy pattern, perfect for beginners like myself.

Oh my gosh! That looks amazing. I love paisley. You need to open your own Etsy shop and sell some of this stuff.
Or our husbands need to get stationed at the same Army post at some point so I can pay you to make clothes for me (assuming you’d want to). 
Thank you so much Bethany! Haha no not sewing for others quite yet…lol I still have a long way to go and a lot more to learn, but thank you.
