When it comes to sewing I am an amateur. I got a sewing machine last year for Mother's Day after we found out we had a little girl on the way. Kent thought I should learn to sew her cute little things instead of blowing half his salary on them. So, I got the sewing machine and since I had never sewn a thing in my life (except a few things by hand) proceeded to teach myself how to sew. I'm not gonna lie there have been a few disasters and I don't get to practice near as much as I would like to. I'm terrible at reading patterns and most of the time need Kent to help me translate and understand them. I made a list of projects that I would like to complete and am finally getting around to them. One of the first things on the list was to make Masyn some cute little summer outfits. I went to JoAnn and got a few patterns when they were on sale. I found some cute Watermelon fabric at Wal-Mart (they are bringing back their fabric on bolts by the way) and I used Simplicity 9784 to make her this cute little dress. Like I said I'm not a seamstress by any means and there are a few mistakes, but I think it out pretty cute.
Such a pretty girl!
I decided to make some buttons with same fabric.
Loves her new dress!
Had to get a shot of the bloomers. This was my first attempt at bloomers and I think I did okay.
This is the pattern I used. I thought it was very easy to follow, which is saying something, and I would definately recommend it to a beginner that's looking for something cute and simple to make.
