Ok, I went a little…nuts

IMG_0225

I bought a few sewing patterns. Ok, I went on a sewing pattern binge. The loot:

  • 13 dress patterns
  • 4 skirt patterns
  • 4 jacket/coat patterns
  • 4 top/blouse patterns
  • 2 home/craft patterns

But at 99 cents a piece, can you really blame me? What a steal! Thank you Hancock Fabrics! I’ve decided now is definitely the time to finally dive into sewing the way I’ve always wanted and finally put all those sewing classes to good use. I quit my sewing classes while I was pregnant with Beck but now that he’s here and we’ve moved and all the other excuses are out of the way I’m so excited to get started. Plus, I live within walking distance of Vogue Fabrics. I realize even just one of these patterns represents probably hours of sewing, messing up, ripping out, re-sewing and repeating. There will probably be many frustrations but the little bit that I have sewn has been so rewarding, I think it will be worth it. Now all I need is my mom here next week (yay!) to wrap me in duct tape for my dress form and I’m off! I’ll be sure and share the good, the bad and the ugly.

fun leone! I can't wait to see the results. I have been wondering about that shop too. Glad to hear you like it. I think PR is giving some push to this creative clothing side. :)
