I wanted so badly to show a photo of our dresses today, but as hard as we worked on the weekend, we didn’t finish them. That is ok, because thanks to Yukiko, I think I have gotten over my fear of cutting into fabric! And, installing invisible zippers!
I think the part that took us the longest was understanding the pattern, and tracing the pattern onto our fabric. It was fun to trace with a friend though; we traced the pattern pieces together for both of our dresses. After we read through the instructions many many many times over, it felt like we were on the right track! I am hoping reading patterns will be easier and easier the more dresses we make.
Once I finish the dress, I will take a photo of it for you!
But for now, how cute is Yukiko’s cactus pin cushion??
Get it?
Cactus? Pins?
hehehe!
I can't wait to see what the dresses look like! I'm starting my first ever men's dress shirt, (as a secret Christmas present for Chris, so shhhh!), and it's going to be pretty difficult too! I'm sure I'll be reading over the pattern over and over and over tonight!
ReplyDeletegood luck with your sewing! it's still a big puzzle for me every time, but I love to do it! can't wait to see your pretty dress!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to hear that you two were having fun! I think this is the most important part while learning something new...
