As I've said before, I just started sewing a little over a year ago....and I haven't been brave enough to make anything I can wear....BUT I got this baby for my birthday......and wanted to try a skirt. {I know it's not hard}.
I used this pattern....
...and in less than an hour....I had this CUTE skirt. {really, it was SO fast}. I did a rolled hem at the bottom and let it ruffle, it's so light. I love it!!!
so then I decided to make a pair of pants...I used an old table cloth I got at Salvation Army for $1 and cut it all up. They turned out ok....not as great as the skirt. Next time I will adjust the pattern a little bit, but that is why I was practicing on an old table cloth!!!! {don't you just love that hot pink?} I also did a rolled hem on the bottom and let them ruffle a little.
And because I was having SO much fun....I made this cute apron from a $2 panel I got at Hobby Lobby. It was so fast and easy and I am LOVING my new serger! I can't wait to come up with more projects to use it on!!!
AND....the GIVEAWAY.....

Great job! I am also a little scared to try making my own clothes. How do you like the serger? Was it easy to figure out?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the serger. It was very easy, it comes with a DVD showing how to thread it and I was able to back up 3-4 times until I figured it out. It's been GREAT so far!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could be as creative as you, or maybe just confident enough to try to be. I had my mom make Ashley a blanket this weekend instead of trying myself. Love the apron.
