Sewing Project

I just finished my first-ever sewing project! (Well, once I helped Mom sew a skirt- I cut out the pieces- and once we started a skirt that was never finished, but this is the first thing that I did entirely by myself). I made a doll outfit out of leftover material. We did not have any doll patterns, but I did not want to waste tons of good fabric on my first project. So I designed my own patterns. I tested them by cutting them out of paper and taping them to my doll. After having Mom teach me the basics on the sewing machine (such as threading it- I am always forgetting one step or another), I threw the outfit together. Unfortunatly I forgot to give the pattern seam allowance, so the bodice is tight and the skirt doesn't go all the way together in the back. I also did not cut out enough material for a hem, so the edges are all frayed.

In progress. Please don't ask me why she is standing on a Frisbee- because I don't know!

The finished result.
