While on my recent trip to SC, my friend E sparked an interest in me to begin sewing. I decided to try my hand at making a little jumper. Furgie also helped....she would lay on the fabric as I tried to cut it out or would knock the spool of thread to the floor and bat it around for a while. I always had to ruin her fun. What a party crasher, eh!!
Well, I learned some really good lessons while making this jumper. I learned not to use brand new, super sharp scissors on an outfit when it is 99.9999% complete. Plus I learned to be OVERLY careful with the iron. Yes, when I was completely finished with the dress, I ironed the hem and was trimming some excess pieces of fabric on a seam. When I ironed, I singed the hem (didn't even notice it and then we tried getting it out with lemon juice...which worked for the most part). When cutting, I somehow snipped a hole in the dress, also. Other than those two MINUTE mistakes, it turned out super cute. I think so, anyway. :)

VERY CUTE!! I'M SO JEALOUS! I have a 5-year-old that would love it if I was sewing her cute dresses like that!! I'm so proud of you! I have a black dress I started almost 5 years ago, messed it up and never finished it. Then, last June (2006) I bought material for a skirt, well...I washed it about a month ago...does that count? ha!
Great job!!

lol - the jacket I started on isn't going so well. I don't know if it can be fixed or not. I didn't ruin anything, but the measurements were off. PATTERN MEASUREMENTS ARE WACKED OUT!
Yes, Misty, it does count that you washed the material. It's a start. :)
