My first sewing project!!

A terrible picture taken on my very badly done duct tape dress form, it is actually i really nice shimmery copper fabric that i picked up from a car boot sale for £1.50 not sure how much fabric there was but i think i've got enough to make another dress from it. Until my sewing skills improve i think i will be better off sticking to looser fitting items as i think they will be a bit more forgiving and not look quite so home made. I'm also not sure i picked the best fabric to work with first time as it is quite slippery and silky maybe the cotton fabric i have for the shirt will be a bit easier..who knows!!
