Anyhow, Big Bunny is making another appearance to model for us... (I'm playing with photo effects and am trying out the "blurred edges" effect... yes? no?)
ETA 6/9/10: The photo with the blurry edges was a definite NO. It gave me a headache every time I looked at it, so I replaced it with the original photo. :)
Isn't it great? I absolutely LOVE how it turned out. Plus, I learned two new skills I had never tried before in my sewing:
FRENCH SEAMS! I love how it makes it seem more professional-- no ratty edges! (I don't have a serger, or I'd just use that.)
BUTTONHOLES! Admittedly, the buttonhole is not as pretty as it could be, but I think it's not half bad.
Overall, not too shabby for my second wearable sewing project. The first was a knit dress I tried in college... it was so awful! I have definitely come a long way in my sewing!
*Better late than never, right, Mia? :)
Oh and ha! Yes! I admire your consistency with deadlines. :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!! I am washing my fabric this week for the quilt-along?.. Still up for it? :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I wish I sewed more (wearable) things for myself.
ReplyDeleteMia... thank you! Yes, the quilt along is still on... my post on the first week will be up on the 10th. Once again, a wee bit late, haha.
ReplyDeleteCheryl... thanks! I think it's a crafty habit to make stuff for others before ourselves, but well worth it when we do!
