Sewing Attempts

I tried my hand at sewing again. I am just learning so it is not very good. But I thought I’d share. :slight_smile:

I made the dress (reversible), the bow, and the bonnet.

And the reverse side…

Thank you guys! @AnnieSokay and @ttulsajess

There is a lot that you can’t see from the photos. The seams are very uneven. And the lining of the hat is not cut quite the same as the outside. The camera hides a good bit. But the dress was my second attempt and the hat and bow my firsts. So hopefully I will improve more next time.

They’re very cute. I really like that the dress is reversible. If you want to get the hang of straight seams practice them on lined notepaper. Cutting the hat and the lining at the same time will ensure they’re the same size. You can do it with both sides of the dress, too.

Love it!!!

Well done. It’s perfect. Your stitches will improve with more practice. Next time cut the hat fabric with the lining fabric together for the same size. However we can’t see that. I love the outfit. :clap::clap::clap:

I am self-taught designer. Well I was first taught by my granny and I improved with time. As kids from age 6 till 12 I made clothes for my dolls and friends’ dolls. In my twins I made tops and anything simple for my own and in my young adulthood people became interested in my clothes so I took this up as a business.
I don’t buy clothes for myself except underwear and sleepwear.

You did such a great job!!!

They look great. I’m teaching my cousin @LillyPoodle to sew. She has made lots of striped pillows to practice her straight stitches. The lines of the stripes are a guide :laughing: also I told her to put her machine on the slowest setting and take her time :smile::turtle:
