My First Sewn Dress

My first dress!

I finished sewing my first dress just in time for Mothers Day! I was so excited to put it on for dinner with the family. I still have a lot to learn with sewing, and not really sure where my sewing journey will take me, but I was happy with this make. Mistakes and all!

Also, got this ring for Mothers Day with all my boys name on it. I LOVE it!

Sewing Chronicles - Spring Daisy Pajama Pants

I had to stand on the stool to get a good shot of the pants. I couldn't get a good one othewise!
Hi Peeps! I have a new sewing project to share. Daisy pajama pants!

I haven't gotten my confidence up enough to tackle any of the vintage dresses I want to make, but wanted to sew something. Since I live in pajamas when home, I figured this was a good start for my first commercial pattern. It's Simplicity 2290, a learn to sew pattern. All I've learned in Mimi G's Sew It Academy so far helped me with this project. If you want to learn to sew I recommend Mimi G. She is awesome!

These pants are so comfy! They are a tad too big, I should have cut the medium instead of the large, but pajamas are comfiest when big. At least I think so. I lounged around in these most of the day. The project actually helped boost my confidence a little. I think I'm ready to tackle a simple dress. I've decided to get a serger, so as soon as it arrives (I can't wait!) I will be ready to make a dress! At least I think I'll be ready. Sergers look kind of scary!
