THAT'S A PENCIL IN THE PICTURE. IT'S SO TINY. I WANTED IT A LITTLE LONGER SO I WORKED ON THE PATTERN BEFORE I MADE THE BLUE ONE. OH I ALSO CUT IT DOWN THE BACK AFTER I SEWED THE SIDES UP SO IT WOULD BE EASIER TO PUT ON THE BABIES. I FINISHED IT WITH A SCALLOPED EDGE AND LEFT THE RIBBONS LONG IN THE BACK TO TIE IT TOGETHER. TODAY WAS MY FIRST TIME TO EVER DO THE SCALLOPED EDGE. I REALLY LIKE IT. THE LITTLE BONNET WAS REALLY EASY. I USED A PIECE OF 12X12 SCRAP BOOKING PAPER AS MY BACKGROUND FOR THE PICTURES.
I FOUND THIS PATTERN HERE. THESE ARE MY FIRST SEWED GOWNS. THE PINK ONE TOOK FOREVER. IT WAS THE FIRST ONE. I HAD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO AND WHEN TO DO IT. IN OTHER WORDS IT DIDN'T COME WITH INSTRUCTIONS. I'M STILL NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY I'M DOING THE NECK. BUT IT'LL DO UNTIL MY BRAIN FIGURES IT OUT. I NEED TO MAKE A SMALL BLANKET AND IF I CAN FIND A PATTERN FOR SEWED BOOTIES I'LL MAKE BOOTIES ALSO. I HAVE 9 MORE CUT OUT READY TO SEW. THAT MEANS I GOT 11 GOWNS AND BONNETS OUT OF 1 1/3 YARDS OF MATERIAL. SO FOR $2.30 I DID PRETTY GOOD. THE MATERIAL WAS ON THE SALE TABLE. I HAVE SOME SATIN PICKED OUT FOR WHEN I GET THE HANG OF IT. I'M JUST NOT SURE IF I CAN SEW WITH IT.
Oh Kathy, how special!! I wish I could sew!! That is wonderful that you got so many gowns out of so little money!
ReplyDeleteAgain, great job!
THANKS ALLYSON. I WISH I COULD SEW BETTER. YOU HAVE TO THINK ALL THE TIME. THAT'S SOMETHING I CAN'T DO.
ReplyDeleteThe outfit is beautiful. I can't imagine sewing anything that tiny.

How tiny those are! They turned out very nice - great job once again!
ReplyDeleteHEY LINDA. I WAS WORRING ABOUT YOU. HOPE YOUR NOT WORKING TO HARD. THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS KIMBERLY. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH TROUBLE I HAD WITH THE FIRST ONE. I FIGURE BY THE TIME I GET ALL 11 MADE I'LL HAVE IT FIGURED OUT. MAYBE.
Necklines are a trouble spot for me too. But...the gowns look great to me. I like how you're cutting a bunch out at once. I need to do that because I cutting is the least fun part. It's good to get it overwith.
ReplyDeleteI THINK THE NECK IS THE LEAST FUN PART. I'M STILL THINKING ON HOW TO MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER. THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS BUT YOU CANT'T TELL HOW BAD IT IS BY JUST A PICTURE.
