Ever since I was little I have always loved to do crafts. I would learn something, get bored with it, then move on. Well, I'm in that stage right now. I taught myself how to make hair clips and have been for about 6 months now. I have had positive feedback with it and enjoy doing it. However, I felt like I needed a bigger challenge, since I have just about perfected my craft of hair clips. I'm moving onto SEWING! Lance was kind enough to buy me a computerized sewing machine. Which is AWESOME, I must admit. So I'm now teaching myself how to sew and it's quite challenging. Trying to read a sewing pattern feels like a foreign language to me. I have taken 1 class of sewing in junior high but that's about it. Today I finished my first sewing project and I'm very proud of it. It's a dress for Elizabeth, which is a little big, but it will fit soon enough! What do you think?
I forgot to mention there was a lot of blood, sweat and tears that went into making this dress. Even ask Lance. My finger is still healing.

Oh it's so cute! I love the pattern! Your like me I've always wanted to learn how to sew but it is very foreign to me. I'm still waiting for a nice sewing machine. I think it's awesome your teaching yourself how to do new things. You go girl!
The dress is so cute! Recently I tried to sew a skirt with some of my girl friends. A couple of weeks later my friend said, "oh, I must have been drunk when I was sewing that for you." I was like, "No, I sewed it myself, remember?" So obviously I'm not a seamstress. I am impressed that you are learning how! :)
Kendra, that is SO cute! There was a time I tried to sew as well but, suffice it to say, I think my talents lie elsewhere (just don't know where yet!).
darling dress! I have always wanted to learn to sew and haven't had the guts to try! Props to you!!!
Love that jumper. do you have some food their to can? You look hot in your pic to the right of your blog girl. When is the Sugden tribe coming for a visit????????????
Kendra! Cute diggity dog! I'm IMPRESSED! Thats insane! Yeah... not so much a really artsy person, and until we have our own space and I can work in my own mess, I'm not going to venture down that road!!!! The dress is adorable though! Now, can you please make Lance a matching one and post a pic? ;)
