after a decade of sewing for other people’s daughters i knew sewing for my own would be fun…but i had no idea how much fun.
so for over a year now I've had a several yards of white eyelet fabric left over from the flower girl dresses i made my nieces for our wedding.
more about sleeves today, specifically my favorite types of sleeves for little girls: cap and flutter sleeves.
this week i'll be recapping my projects from 2015 and taking about some of my plans for early 2016. today i'm kicking it off by talking about the skirts and dresses i made this year.
i think of my early sewing projects like i think of high school: sure at the time i thought i had it figured out and was doing a bang up job, but man there were some cringe worthy situations.
however unlike my high school experiences i am better for it and am willing to talk about them. so i thought i would put together a list of my favorite techniques and tips that i've found make my sewing more professional.
about a year ago i made the ambitious decision to take both nora and etta to the fabric depot in portland.
all three of us immediately fell in love with this poppy print. envisioning the garden party dresses by oliver + s, we also picked up some coordinating solid fabric, and two very fun flower buttons.
then i started a new job and this fabric sat in my stash.
and sat.
and sat.
