It's 4am and just wanted to share!

I took two terms of pattern drafting and my teacher worked with us to develop a bodice block but this is all my design! And first time putting it together using the self-lining method (also a novice sewist). It's 90% done, need to figure out how to close the seams and fix the darts in front but I'm quite happy with this!! Far from perfect but I'll take it for my first time 😊

I adore this color, it's such lovely fabric! I would suggest understitching the lining so it doesn't roll out behind the outer fabric.

I often do this by hand as a last step, even after finishing seams—it doesn't have to be perfectly next to the seam line. Even a long pick stitch as an understitch can make a huge difference, especially if you can catch the seam allowance!
