First sewing project!

in May 2011 Moms

So I just finished my sewing project. Ruffles on the bottom of a plain onesie. I think it turned out pretty good. I may do one more like this and then I am going to make an attempt at bloomers....

    So jealous!  I looked at the directions online a couple of weeks ago and they read like Greek to me.

    It really wasn't hard at all. I am just not very patient with measuring everything out but it turned out pretty cute. I have to figure out somthing to do to the front of it so it is not so boring now.

    LOVE!!

    (I admit that not being able to apply rufflebutts and bloomers to my child is disappointing, but I try to see it as money-saving ;))

    Congrats!

    While sewing things yourself is no longer cost effective as it was when I was a kid (my mom made a large portion of my clothes in the early 70's to save money), it sure gives you a satisfying feeling of completing something. It also gives you some originality in your wardrobe :)

    I am sewing a Miami Dolphins Fleece baby sack to match my husband's home made Miami Dolphins blanket so they can look identical on the sofa watching football games this season.

    I'm not sure if it's the fabric cost being high or the cost of clothing going down that makes it inefficient now.

    Either way, nice job :)

    I don't know... this little onesie cost about 3.00 to make and they sell for 15 or more... I think that it was pretty cost efficient! You just have to know where to find fabric i guess.

    The sleep sacks you can find for under 3 bucks on sale... the material alone for the one i'm making is over 10.

    I guess it depends on what can find on sale, fabric or clothing :)
