So in light of my mom's amazing sewing abilities and the fact that I can't even sew a button back on a shirt...I decided it was time to get some sewing lessons from my mom. I picked out a few dresses I wanted to make and we went to a fabric store in Turlock and got some fabric that would work well.

And then we started sewing... this is the top and bottom part of a dress we're making. It is turning out really good and I am excited to be able to wear something that I sewed myself.

Ironing is a big part of sewing.
I probably won't ever be the seamstress my mother is but at least I will know how to sew on a button now!
Sewing is so much fun. My first project I did was an apron which I am so proud of. Good luck and have fun! It is addicting though just fyi ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, and when you're done you need to post a picture the dress and you in it =D
What a compliment! A master seamstress! ..and never say never...

ReplyDeleteYour mom is talented. I can't wait to see the dresses you make. I like sewing. I'm not the greatest at it but I love it when I get done with something and see the final product.
