Tee hee! Hey guys! Well I have gotten myself into a heap of trouble I'm sure. I was in Hobby Lobby the other day and I lurked into the sewing section. Before I knew it, I picked out fabric, ribbon, a pack of d-rings, velcro, and a pattern! Mind you, I have NEVER sewn anything besides paper in my scrapbooking room and hemmed a few things. But I decided to just dive in and go for it. I got this pattern:
Pet Clothes | Pet Clothes | Crafts/Dolls/Pets | McCall's Patterns
I am going to attempt (keyword here is attempt...LOL) to make Katie Scarlett a dress like the pink one pictured on the pattern packet. I found some adorable damask looking fabric. It has a gray base with shades of cream, green, and pink on top. I just know it's going to turn out all wonky, but I am determined to learn how to make her a few dresses on my own. I still will order from other YT vendors and online, but I want to know that proud feeling too of making something myself.
I called a local sewing shop today and signed up for a beginners sewing class for this coming Tuesday night. It's just a one time session that lasts 3 hours but they go over the basics and teach you how to work with patterns. I thought that might help before starting my own. So I hope by next week I'll be stitching away. I will for sure show my finished project but you guys can't laugh!
Anyways, I was just so excited I had to share! I really do hope I can learn to make cute things like some of you ladies do!
