About 6 months ago I bought a lovely book called "making children's clothes" and have been flicking through it for the past month thinking I really must get over this fear of pattern following. So yesterday when Finlay settled down for his afternoon nap I got out the book and made the simplist item from it I could find and it worked! It may not be perfect and the stiching may be a little wibly in places but it worked! Its lined, it fits and with the help of some lovely Tanya Whelan fabric its quite cute!
So I quite proudly present you my first item of clothing!
Wow! I am seriously impressed with that!
ReplyDeleteI am learning to sew (have been doing little courses and things for a few months now) and kind of getting there. But like you, I am scared of patterns.
I briefly considered trying to sew myself a bikini this week (because Mike's taking me to a spa tomorrow, I have nothing to wear, and shops aren't selling much in Feb) and saw a lovely pattern in a book in the library - then realised the insanity of this (can't even insert elastic etc) So am off to Worcester M&S shortly...!
Love Charlotte
