Sewing takes practice

Matt bought me my first sewing machine for Christmas....since then I have made curtains, many tablecloths and runners, and now I can say that I have sewn my first dresses. Of course they were not for me, but for my little Aidan. It was a really easy design and the material comes prepared somewhat for you, but I was very proud and Aidan loves the dresses.I have no formal training, and I don't even know what the stitches are called so I am teaching myself as I go....here is a photo shoot of the two dresses that I made...the first one is black with little cherries on it...I love anything that has cherries on it! The hardest part was figuring out how to put the lace trim on.

  1. Oh, I am WAY impressed. Those are SO cute and Aidan looks beautiful in them! Good for you. I need to get a working sewing machine and figure this all out. You did such a good job. Aidan is a lucky girl.
