Sewing conquest

*** Sorry about the poor picture quality. I had to beg borrow and steal these because my camera was dead :(

Soooo...

(Drum roll please)

I had a few more sewing conquest this week!

I think this is seriously the best I have ever done at a new year's resolution.

Before I share the conquest let me get the most important stuff out of the way.

My girls in their Easter dresses! ;)

so stinking cute right!?!

I now understand why people sew for their children more than for themselves.

It is WAY more rewarding 

Because they are WAY cuter!

Now my sewing conquest came with my dress.

A little disclaimer first.

I am not wild about my dress.

I know this is so typical girl of me but I think it makes me look fat. :(

I know I am so silly, but it's the truth.

On to the positive.

I followed my first store bought pattern to make this dress.

(Am I the only one who feels like a total idiot looking at a pattern!?)

I made my first button hole.

And I made bias tape for the first time!

Woop!

I am so proud of my sewing conquest

but

not so proud of the finished project.

Dang, I was so close ;)

As for my dumb dumb move for this project:

I bought the wrong size pattern... which lead to A LOT of seam ripping and half of the reason why I am not to pleased with the outcome. silly silly me.

lots of love 

I'm linking to some fun parties!
