Sewing, Anyone?



Today, I went to pick up some FREE Fabric from a lady I'd never met. There was tons and tons of it. Here's the pile I picked up, along with the Kwik-Sew Pattern 2498 that I will soon begin. Now, if I only knew how to sew...

Actually, I know some basic stuff, but VERY basic. I've sewn with my mom like 2 times in my life. But the lure of free fabric makes me want to sew a brand new top!! The biggest problem is that I can't stand ironing, which is a fundamental part of sewing! Anyway, I'll post a picture when I've completed.

Anyone want to tackle this pattern with me? We can commiserate on how hard it is to sew button holes.

Yes please!!! I really want to learn. I was visiting my parents last week and my mom made Will four precious outfits! My goal this summer is to buy a starter machine and learn! Buttonholes looked pretty easy as long as you have a setting for them on your machine! Good luck, maybe I will have some creations to post soon...

Carrie- Your machine should have a buttonhole maker. If not, Bring Ethan over. They can watch Vegetales and we'll make your buttonholes. It will take about 5 minutes!!!!!

Oh, and bring your fabric Friday so I can look thru it and be jealous! :)

I would love to learn how to sew clothes, especially for Chloe. By the time I learn, it will probably be for my grandkids!! Good luck, I can't wait to see how it turns out.

I found a great site with the cutest vintage fabrics - they aren't free (unfortunately) but so cute! The site is reprodepotfabrics.com you should check it out!
