These girls were impressive!
Super-sewing

Generally, we focus on clothing. But if you beg...
western shirt
Cute western-style blouse.
Inkuleleko-skirt
Inkuleleko made this skirt from scratch.
Maire-Kennedy in her copied dress.
Maire wanted to copy a dress she already owned.
Butterick
Butterick faux-wrap dress looks easy, but is kinda like oragami.

Too bad they decided to go with a more sales-driven class model.

The students put out a lot of really good work.
