OK really, this post isn't about Eminem's 'Just lose it' song...
Needing a quick spell of all that is hessian in my house at the moment (well perhaps the floors needing it more than me given it goes EVERYWHERE and I really should be cleaning the house for a first birthday party on Sunday...) I decided to bite the bullet and make Jett some jammy pants. I first mentioned I was planning on making Jett some from some cool oppy material I brought a couple of months ago. And for those of you who can sew you're probably thinking 'It's not hard, why procrastinate?', but I thought they would be. I was wrong! Boy how quick and satisfying are they to whip up??? I never knew...
So here's the first item of clothing I've ever made (OK... that worked out!). As you can see, they've passed the wearability test with Jett.
It's made me motivated enough to even try French seams on the second pair I made out of an old pillowcase Bec found for me in an op shop.
I've been saving my 'best' material for the next pair, until I was feeling more confident. This is some of the lovely material I brought from Melanie at Kimono Reincarnate - how cute is it? It's all cut up so I just need to start sewing.
I'll just have to work up the courage to try and applique something on a little top so they each have matching tops...
