cutie #1.... cutie #2
Adventures in sewing continued: yesterday I headed to the fabric store, picked up some gingham, called my sister to come help, and pulled out the sewing machine. Five hours and two advil later I had the completed product: two one-piece boy suits for Will. I'm actually pretty pleased with them! Here's what I learned:
1. seam rippers are very important
2. button holes are tricky
3. pay attention to each step; don't jump ahead
4. put away all sewing instruments lest your 2 1/2 yr old find the fabric pencil and use it to draw all over the hard wood floors in the dining room
Not bad for a first-timer........?
