Baby steps? No thanks.

I've put my dress project to the side. I'm too scared to touch it without the supervision of my sewing teacher (who, by the way, I absolutely adore). The ignorant, beginner sewer that I am bought super stretchy jersey fabric...not very friendly for a wannabe seamstress. Anyway, between class cancellations and my own personal issues preventing me from getting to class, I haven't been able to touch the dress in over a month. 

But I'm not too sad! And that's because I've started my very first bedding project! What possessed me to make my baby's bedding when I've only completed 1sewing project ever?? I could have at least attempted to make the crib blanket before starting the bumper, but no. I'm impatient and what to see what I'm made of! I'm super excited and so far have really enjoyed my time on this project. Unfortunately, I'm only able to work on it in the evening, once Drew's tending to his dreams. This could take a while, but here's the start of my project. 

I think about my dress a lot.

I'm not neglecting her. Just postponing... 

My workroom - you think this is messy? You should see the other side.

~The Fabric~

 

 

I'm not sure why I do this to myself, but here are some of the original fabrics I wanted. I wanted and couldn't have. Grrrrr.

So, if all goes well with this project, and you like what you see, come to me when you are expecting a boy and I'll then have a chance to use them!
