I'm such a beginning sewer, I had no idea it would be this difficult! I'm determined to teach myself, though. It's alllllmost done, I just have to re do some parts and polish it up. No picture yet, I want a nice surprise to show soon.
I'm using other clothes to compare patterns and stitching, and definitely learning a lot. When this is done, it's going to be HOT.
What were your beginning crafts? Any disastrous mistakes?
i tried to make a rag quilt for my first craft.
ReplyDeleteit was such a pain in the butt, all of my stitches were off making the fabric pull weird in spots, plus i picked out the colors at like age 12 so they were really ugly by the time i finished it years later haha
recently a friend of mine and i tried to make those string lanterns, where you kind of paper mache' string or lace doilies around a balloon to make pretty outdoor/indoor hanging decoration... oh my gosh they ended up looking horrible. i used mod-podge and before it dried the balloon shriveled up and made it all deformed..
i hate how simple some tutorials make crafts look. when really it takes some skill!! haha
Yes, and the tutorial end product looks so lovely, mine is never quite as nice.
