So I’m beginning my journey and I’ve realized just how many clothes I have that are polyester. Good solid work dresses of mine have it inside it. That means it’s time to rip a pattern from my favorite dress and use that to make myself something beautiful by hand that I am proud to wear

I’ve decided to do a simple dress to start with. Something that is in line with my modern style that wouldn’t be too jarring to wear in public to start.

Here is my poly-rayon dress seams. It’s been narrowed by machine and sewn in a loose fashion.

I start by ripping out all the stitching so that I can use the fabric underneath to make a pattern from.

It’s messy work with a lot of extra thread.

Soon enough I will be able to replace all that I own with dresses that are made by my own hand. Step by step towards my goal. 🌝✨
