Another finished project!

I knitted this for a family member's deer- themed nursery.  Sure hope she likes it! <3

What I learned....

I learned french seams:

I learned to double check before I cut (this was supposed to be a size 8 but after a cutting accident became a size 3!):

I learned how to make double patch pockets:

I learned that selvedge edges do not always line up with prints: 

I finally learned how to add a kick pleat:   

What a fun first sewing adventure!   

Sew didn't need another hobby!

The other day, I went to a fabric store to pick up another set of double pointed knitting needles and saw the place covered in little pillowcase dresses.  What a cute project, and to make it even better the dresses were for an organization that donates dresses to needy girls all over the world.  Hmmm.... what a great project to learn how to sew and also help a worthy cause!  So I dove in and made five sweet dresses!  I learned a lot and have caught the sewing bug....... ;).  Now where did I put those knitting needles?   

Testing?!?!

Oh, law......it's done been a whole two years since I blogged.  Huh.  Whatsablog?   I figure if I start back up, I may actually remember what day it is.   I'm still left  somewhere in January of 2012.
