I loved sewing, and hubby bought me a sewing machine the first year we were married.. I went to the fabric store bought a simple a-line dress pattern with big oval pockets..[this was the seventies]. I chose cotton fabric and purchased enough for 2 dresses, I bought one purple and one pink fabric, and don't ask me why? I decided to put pink pockets on the purple and vice versa.. Let me tell you, those were the ugliest dresses you ever saw.. [ I never wore them, they went to the trash. hahaha]. Believe me girls, they were NOT wearable. <br /> Well, I had a pretty baby girl the following year, and I learned to sew , by making little dresses for her. and I gave up on "sewing for me", until recently.. So, I am having to learn a lot about fitting patterns ,etc. [much different sewing for an adult,ha]Sew Blessed Maw [Judy]https://www.blogger.com/profile/15474519379303505290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-66653144882585943062013-04-03T23:54:18.964+11:002013-04-03T23:54:18.964+11:00This sounds like fun ~ can't wait to see what ...This sounds like fun ~ can't wait to see what everyone's "first" was!
