Red/Black Linen Sheath Dress
I developed the pattern for this dress using PatternMaster Boutique, using the "double princess sheath" style, and then modified the pattern for better fit, using the CAD program (Pattern Editor) included with PMB. The linen fabric is underlined with silk organza to minimize wrinkling, and the dress is fully lined with Bemberg.

I`m brand new here and I have no idea even how to use my sewing machine yet, (I need someone to teach me)but I love the idea of sewing and have tons of patterns so I can start making things for my 3 year old daughter.
What a great inspiration this is!
