More sewing lessons

I am having some more sewing lessons now that I have practiced skirts a bit.
It is going to be a dress like this - although shorter.

My material and some of the pattern pieces

It has been good getting help how to adjust the fit. This is a very simple pattern, so a good starting place. She is explaining here how to add a dart after adding in some length to go the further distance over a bigger bust.

I have also used the ovelocker which is very exciting. It gives a nice finish to the edge of things.
Both Doug and people at work who I have showed the result to are surprisingly uninterested!
I keep looking at them in John Lewis. Maybe I will buy one - don't tell Doug!
