As you might know I recently was the recipient of a brand new sewing machine. I went to Joann's Fabric and bought about 25 patterns. They were on sale for .99 cents each, so I got a (great) deal. Of those 25 patterns I finally decided on my first project! It's a McCall's pattern, which I hear are pretty easy.
This will be for my little girl. I'm really hoping I can pull it off, because again, it's been between 20 and 22 years since I sewed. I found the fabric I want to use, (you can see it below).
I've gotten all of my supplies, things like fabric scissors, fabric pen, pins, pin cushion, thread, etc. Last night I made my first cuts. I'm pretty sure I messed up on the cutting. You see I don't do well with map reading, and the whole "fold your fabric this way and cut it that way" thing doesn't really work well in my mind. We'll see when I start trying to sew this stuff together how I did. I'm pretty excited about this project, can't wait to see how many ways I'll actually mess it up.
Trying to learn to sew on your own isn't that easy. I wish the Joann's near me had sewing lessons, but they don't so I'm on my own.
