Pheew!!! What a week it's been. I made my first dress, using the Lutterloh pattern making system. There was a lot of trial and error involved I can tell  you that! I had to draft the pattern many times till I was satisfied I would get the right results. I had some fabric lying around to practice with, I  did not want to experiment with expenisive material. Well here is the finished product. And boy!! have my friends started oohing and aahing!

Hello everyone, I knnow tis been a week or so, since I last appeared. To say the least I got distracted.!! As you all know, I  declared at the beginning of March that every week there would be a new bag on show. Well I got ahead of myself., cos I could not wait to find out how the Lutterloh Pattern Making System works. Now mind u April had been set aside for dressmaking but just could not wait. As a result I just got two handbags made FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF MARCH!!! what a shame. Any how would like to know if anyone out there has used or uses the Lutterloh pattern making kit? In my opinion I dont think its very user friendly, no instructions to speak of.
For now I'm practicing on some fabric I had lying around and to say the truth I have no clue how the outcome would turn out. I love the catalogue of patterns, whether or not I figure out how to make them remains to be seen. But I will surely keep u posted.

I created this simple whimsical bag for mainly two reasons: the large round handlesand fabric were dying to be put to use.
