Sewing projects

Here is some catch up on what I have been sewing of late.


I love the skirt! It has godets in it. (I think that it how it is spelled, pronounced go day.) Anyways it is a lot of fun to spin around in. Now I just need Charles to take me out dancing!
The pants have welt pockets which are supposed to be hard to make but truthfully were not all that bad. I think that I had more trouble with the skirt than the pants. I used a Burda pattern for the skirt and it was a BAD experience. I don't know that I will buy another Burda pattern. ever. The godet insert pattern piece was much to big for the panel piece. I had to pretty much remake the pattern pieces. I may as well have made my own pattern. the directions were pretty confusing as well. I used a Vogue pattern for my pants. Vogue patterns are more expensive but wont it. They have more detailed instructions and are easier to follow.

Lately we have been doing a project every two weeks. I am working on a knit hoodie at the moment. Next up is my very first quilt.
9did I mention there are only three weeks left in the semester!) SO exciting! I have to say, it is soooo nice to have machine here at home! If I didn't have it here I would live in the sewing lab and we would only eat boxed mac and cheese for dinner. (oh wait, lately we have been doing that anyways...)
I am a bit nervous about picking out fabric for the quilt. My teacher gave me a lot of good advice hopefully it helps. Wish me luck!
