Winter greetings everyone!
Here in NY we've had quite a December to remember. In the last two weeks we've had over 12"+ of snow fall. Looks like it's going to be a white Christmas!
Back in October I signed up for an introduction to sewing class through the local adult eduction program. It was a really fun class and I met some truly awesome people. Over the course of six weeks I picked out a dress pattern from Jo-Ann Fabrics, purchased the materials, and began my journey of first time sewer. Below are some pictures taken along the way. I finished my dress on the last day of class.
It was a lot of work but spend more time fixing my mistakes (using my ever handy seam ripper).
If you're a first time sewer I would recommend an easier project to begin with. Since I had ZERO sewing experience I found myself watching youtube videos, reading sewer blogs, and calling my aunt for advice and how-to's.
Overall it was a really fun class and I did learn a lot. Since finishing the dress I've made a rag quilt (soooo much easier!), a medium size tote bag, and a poncho. It's pretty addicting once you start and I'm so glad I did.
One of the best parts of signing up was meeting the other great women in the class. Our class ended two weeks ago but still meet on Wednesday evenings at my house to sew together.
