Well I did it! I completed the first of the 52 Week Sewing challenge. I am truly proud of myself. I know that it is not much but it is something that I did see through, at least the first week. Now the real struggle will be to balance both my daytime job with my nighttime hobby (since I go back to work tomorrow).
I started with something easy, I made Vogue 8939 View D. This is the Vogue Wardrobe that is known for the cute four piece dress. I highly recommend it even though my ended up a little short. I am only 5' 2" and I only put a 1 inch hem in it but the next one I make, and there will be another one or two, or three I will add at least 4 inches. Right now the length is almost perfect to wear with leggings and boots, maybe just take 1 or 2 more inches off. I made it with a very nice Ponte Knit but my hubby said the length is not the problem (even though he said it may be too short for work) but the color is not a good one for me. He may be right but the price and quality were too good to pass up. So many decisions to make when sewing...the right pattern, the right fabric, the right color. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Nevertheless, again I am proud of myself and hope this is the beginning of something big!
