It is fun!
It was fun!
But it was a lot of work. Just remind me next August that I want to get started on the costumes, versus waiting until the second week of October to start!
Every late night was worth it, I am so thrilled with the result!
We picked the patterns...
... cut out the patterns (which is my least favorite part of sewing projects, so I was just delighted to have Noah offer to help, and he did a great job!)...
...cut the material...
...preparing the fabric...
...fitting...
...finishing...
Now, I have to make a disclaimer for my friends who will look at this project and say "I don't sew". I look at sewing much like a recipe. You collect the ingredients and follow the directions. Much like when I cook, when I sew, I tend to stray from the recipe. Sometimes that works out and other times it looks a little like I put too much salt in the soup. And as I spend more time in the kitchen or at the sewing machine, the more confident I become. And they say that you'll learn more from mistakes than you ever could from perfection. I learned alot through these projects.
And aren't my kid's CUTE!!!??!!!
They are VERY cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd you did do a really GREAT JOB!!
I really love how they are color-coordinated with each other.
How many of them are you going to reuse? Two?
(See, that will save you some of the last-minute sewing down the road, right?)
ADORABLE!!!
