When I was pregnant, I collected fat quarters of material in the hopes of making a quilt for "the baby." Then "the baby" came and I was really busy, and all the material I had collected got packed away. Now that Owen is more independent and I sleep more, I dug out my sewing machine and all the fabric. I am not a great sewer. I've only ever made one shirt and a bunch of random stuff. I prefer to just jump in to a project and learn along the way, so unlike me for other things, but there's something about sewing that I just can't get my mind around from reading about it and looking at pictures. I have to do it and see my mistakes in order to ameliorate it for next time.
This kerchief bib was easy to make and I can't wait to make more for Owen with some of the great fabric (Liberty of London) I have tucked away.
super cute fabric!! you did a great job making those, they are too cute!! I am the same with sewing. reading a pattern is like solving a rubik's cube to me, i dont get it! i need to learn as i go.
ReplyDeletealso, happy to hear you are getting more sleep, hooray!
Thanks Laura! I got a book today from the library with some patterns, seems simple enough. I may try to make something tonight, who knows?
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Wow what a little boy he is. He's got some great hair going on too! I agree it's much more fun jumping in and working with what you see rather than trying to work from pictures and descriptions. Go for it!!
ReplyDeleteA: I know! He's almost got some wings goin' on on the sides.
