So, as mentioned, Quilt Watch 2011 is over. But my sewing machine was super bored with that plan. And since we are out of fabric home decor projects, I moved to the next thing : clothing. I bought this Wiksten top/dress pattern last fall and it sat on my shelf because I was too nervous to tackle it. Luckily, finishing the quilt was enough to get over the nerves & I picked up fabric, re-opened the pattern and got to work.
Sewing clothing is SO different than my random sewing craft/decor projects. I have to say, I was a stickler with the rules this time. I measured things. I yelled at my sewing machine and ripped out stitches (many times). Jenny's patterns are super detailed and very helpful if you read though them (my errors were when I accidentally missed steps) and my top turned out better than I thought it would. And sewing something that you get to wear? Picking fabric for something that hangs in your closet? Totally awesome.
Maybe even my new favorite.
(Such a favorite, that I am working on the dress version today.)
enJOY it
