Cut and Pin

lasts nite i was able to sit down and cut out most of the pieces for nugget's halloween costume. i ran out of pins with 3-4 pieces to go, so i'll get those done tonite or tomorrow. i have to say that i'm not stressed about this, but a little "on edge" because i'm afraid to screw it up. i know that if i take my time, read the directions, pause to take them in and understand them, THEN sew... i'll be just fine.

any pointers?

Done.

whoo hoo!

next up.

Dorothy.

Buttoned Up

I was able to finish the waistband last nite with Maryalice. It really wasn't difficult, I just had to do a little bit more concentrating. When I make these again, I'll have to be sure to take a photo at each step... especially sewing the ribbon to the elastic- it's a tight tight tight space so there's a lot of lifting of the foot, repositioning, pivoting, repositioning... but it's still enjoyable and relaxing.

I have to measure out the hem, head up there next week to sew them and I'm done! I ordered some ADORABLE patterns (here and here) so I'm super excited to get these in the mail and get going on them!
