] I am very impressed! Do you use any specific pattern? Do you have suggestions of where to look for advice and further information?

Well, yes. I bought Mrs. Chanceys pattern from Sense&Sensibility (not the film or the movie), see link below. There are several others to be found on the Internet, but this is the only one I've tried.

The pattern comes with good instructions, it was easy to figure out how to do everything. There are also online instructions on the website, and you can join online sewing classes. The tricky bit for me was to figure out the system with inches. In Norway we use the metric system, so the calculations took some time :-)

I have made three different dresses from this pattern, and am now working on number four. I just need to hem the skirt, and then it is finished. Maybe tonight?
