Challenge
The Robes girl. (I haven’t properly sewn in years.)
Challenge: Sew 12 Robes for a video shoot.
Plan: Use best practices (when cutting and sewing patterns together, remember to have a 1.5cm seam allowance), make sure to stretch and lay fabric properly before cutting out pattern.
Outcome: Thom (the founder) was very happy with how the robes turned out and was thankful for my contribution to the project.
