confused!!

ok so i'm WAY confused... up there ^ like way up there, it says 'first ever blog!!' right??
i think i made that when i first wrote a post because i thought i was making the title... how do i change it??? help!!

First ever blog!!

Ok, so this is my first ever blog, so we'll see how it goes... ;)
My name's jemima (but i've had a variety of nicknames), i LOVE chicken tika masala and mint aero, and i've  hated mango chutney since forever (well, to be more precise, since an unfortunate experience involving a very hungry me, and a very tasty looking jar of what i could only presume was marmalade... but wasn't).
I've never done a blog before so i don't know exactly what i'm going to be talking about (it'll be a mix of stuff), but first i want to talk to you guys about a dress i made recently.
For a while i've been drawing designs for clothes, and have always been interested in fashion, but i never actually made anything, because 1: i didnt think i would have the skills to made anything of any real quality, and 2. i couldnt be bothered to go through the effort of learning, because i thought it would take a long time to get good. But suddenly everything changed... dun dun diun... so i was watching season 9 of project runway (great show :p, <3 it) and everyone kept on saying how Anya had only been sewing for 3 months, so it was really unlikely she would get very far, but she kept on getting through and doing really well, and then she won... so i was like 'ok well now you have no excuse not to try and make anything, because if she can win project runway having only known how to sew for 3 months, i think you'll be able to make a simple dress or something'. (obviously i said this in my head... yes i may talk to myself which is slightly odd, but it's ok 'cuz i do it in my head :) )


Right, so, this ^ is the dress i made, worn by my beautiful model (otherwise known as my sister laura). Awefully bad quality (as you may or may not be able to tell) but for a first try i was quite pleased. What do you think??? 
Also if any of you happen to be amazing clothes-makers, any tips/advice would be great!! 
Byee!! xx

( had to add this photo ^ even though it doesnt show the whole dress, 'cuz i love it :) )
