Built By Kristin*

If you know anything about sewing, this effort might seem juvenile. But consider: It represents our first attempt at a) reading and cutting a pattern b) cutting out fabric c) machine sewing d) understanding the mechanics of a machine and e) interpreting sewing terminology (another freakin' language).

And if you think I'm going to show you the inner seams you are high on drugs.

  2. I think that is fabulous. And considering you've never sewn anything else or used a sewing machine it is doubly fabulous. I've seen RTW that is far worse.

    CONGRATULATIONS!

  10. Sal: It's all about the try-on with you, honey :-) Trust me, it fits! But I will do a photo post soon.

    Mardel: What a loving comment. Thank you so much for your feedback. Coming from you - sewer and knitter - that means a lot.

    Jennine: Thank you! Now you have to make a skirt and post about it. Let's do a little - "former non-sewers become all sewing-fabulous"!

    Kate: Thank you! I hope you are right.

    D.: Thanks, photo post coming.

    Ambika: Thanks! I mean, my inner seams are not yours! (Not yet, anyway!!)

    Seeker: I will post photos soon. Really!

    Miss C: Hilarious word ver. And I am really proud of the top seams. Given that I have no experience, I feel that was the thing I did best. Last weekend I made another skirt for M for Xmas. Thank goodness I worked in blue thread, because that top-stitching wasn't the best. Nonetheless, I'll keep on.

    E: I love it when you all cursey on me :-) Will do.
