My first stitches!

This week I have set about ticking off another one of my New Year's resolutions, learning to sew. With the expert guide of my mother who has a ridiculous amount of knowledge and experience I have learnt a whole array of information and techniques for sewing. And I am extremely proud to say that I have not only made my first piece of clothing, but that I managed to finish it in just two days, and managed to finish it to a standard that I am happy with (being a perfectionist is not always an easy thing!).

I am extremely pleased with how it turned out. We decided to make my first sewing project a nice easy one to start with, that could teach me the basics so that I can move on to more advanced things with more confidence in pattern reading as well as general construction.

This is the completed item

(Sorry the picture is naff, I was taking it in a hurry. I am sure I will have a better picture at some point!)


One very simple black A line skirt. I am really pleased with it, and I have most definitely caught the sewing bug. I will most definitely be moving on to my next project of a blouse very soon!

Onto other things in the world, my new YouTube video will be going up on Friday this week. As I said in the previous post I am away from my usual location at the moment and have extremely slow internet! Once I am a little more reconnected to the technological world again, I will post my next video! How exciting! An actual tutorial! Lets just hope that some one finds it useful, or better yet actually watches it!

As for now I am going to go and prance around in my lovely new skirt!
