In light of my successful blouse making venture, I am going to sew myself some more clothes {hopefully I will get them done in a reasonable amount of time too!}. I’ve stashed some fabric that I think will be perfect for a few new pieces:
 |
| Fabrics: Little Folk’s Voile Coloring Garden by Anna Maria Horner, Flea Market Fancy Posy by Denyse Schmidt, Echo Moira by Lotta Jansdotter. |
I also picked up some more patterns from Serendipity Studio because I was so impressed by the book that I figured they were a great place to start!
 |
| Patterns: Fashion Formula Skirts, Diane Kimono Dress, The Bebe Dress. |
A few of you have mentioned or e-mailed that you’re interested in learning to sew, as it is a little different from quilting, and we’ve decided to give a few lessons {my mom is a very talented seamstress, and she is going to share her knowledge, tips, and tricks with us!}.
So, please let us know what kind of things you’d like to learn: more about patterns? serging/finishing edges? gathering? pinning? marking?
Leave your questions below so that we can get to work on some great tutorials and posts started!
Oh, and just to leave you with a smile for the weekend, look who is getting so grown up:

That Bebe dress is darling and certainly going on my list of to do’s. Your daughter is getting so big and is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing…smiles..Renee
I think the most important thing to begin with is how to choose a pattern size and how to fit it before you begin, so you don’t have to rip out a lot and start over. That is my greatest challenge.
No she is not that big! Wow! She is so precious! I love the idea of seeing some sewing tips, but I couldn’t even think of what to suggest. Sleeves? I can never get those right and avoid them at all costs.
I would really like the sewing tutorial series. I want to learn how to make dresses but everything about it makes me nervous even though I am good at making quilts.
She is getting so big! And is just so adorable
