Making Progress:
I found some time to sit down at the sewing machine and
make a few more outfits.
The practice is really helping, each time
I make something I'm learning new stuff and improving on what I have
done. The following photos are a mix of several different patterns
and even a few modifications/alterations of my own.
Note: I did not make the Yellow top.
The bottom hem of the dress isn't as straight as I'd like, but the
bodice turned out nice.
I used hem tape to finish the waist and bottom hem (using the iron it sticks the material together). I liked the fact that it gives a nice clean finish, but it would be too stiff for light weight fabrics or a fuller skirt.
Shorts are getting easier to make especially since I've made several pairs now.
This top is a modified pattern to fit a very small scrap of material I had.
Jammies! I just love a good set of PJ's.
This lightweight flannel makes a great pair of PJ's.
Again the top is a modified pattern.
