44. sewing (machine), one me thing

After the success of the cushions, I decided I'd break into sewing clothes. From scratch. Running before I can walk? Yes, I think so!

Here's the pattern I bought for $1.99




I decided to do a practice run, so made the dress out of a flat sheet from Value Village.

It seems like the sheet was the perfect fabric for the pattern. Only thing is, I was going for a cool, summer dress and instead got an old granny's nightdress.



NOT nice! I hope to make something a little more flattering next time......

  1. You made a "muslin", which is just great because you still can wear it as a summer nightie, yes? I looks very nice, unlike most muslins. Happy sewing!!
