for this and last summer, I've been trying to take up sewing.
My first attempt at a real project [that dress doesn't count] was to create continuous bias tape. Basically, my end result should have been a long, flowing piece of material.
Instead...
I ended up with three loops.
I don't....I don't even understand how that happened. And now that fabric has gone walkie, so I can't even rectify it. It was last seen being mucked about with by my house mate's kids, so who knows where it may be now? My grand mistake, fluttering around a skirting board somewhere in the house.
Then I decided to try some appliqué. I bought some interfacing and stabilizer.
At least, I thought I did. Desperate searches showed no sign of the stabilizer, but the interfacing was still present. I was confused because I was so sure I bought some.
Giving up, I ordered some from an on-line seller...
Only to find my already-bought buried under a pile of books behind my door.
I am thwarting my own efforts with my scatter brained nature.
My efforts to learn how to sew better than a 4 year old continue.
Haha, sewing is not that hard but getting good clothes out of it is difficult.
ReplyDeleteThis week I bought my 3rd seam ripper, only to find the first one right beside the sewing machine. Apparently it rolled underneath. tsk tsk
ReplyDeleteKeep practicing your sewing!
@ Sugabelly - That's my ultimate goal! I was ambitious/optimistic enough to think I might have started on my first dress by now - HA!
ReplyDelete@Libby - Seam Rippers are so useful and yet so easily lost. I will! This is definitely a craft I can conquer...with a lot of patience and practise.
