So if you've been reading my blog you're probably aware that I've been making a skirt for the past few weeks and I am excited to say... IT'S DONE! Yaaaaaaaay. So i figured out that I somehow sewed pockets in it without realizing.... All I did was cut out the pieces that the directions told me to and then sewed the seams that it said, not actually knowing what I was sewing at the time.
Now with just a few days left I am ready to start sewing my shirt for the presentation. I have been researching a ton about how to make patterns from scratch so they fit and look good and such so I'm pretty confident that I can finish it quickly.
I loved using the patterns to make the other products but a big reason I did this project was to save money making my own clothes. Well when using the $10 (sometimes $15) patterns, I'm not actually saving money. I also believe that by not using the patterns I am able to make it more "my style" and do really whatever I want and make it however I want it to be.
Once I finish the tank top using my homemade pattern I will be finished my product and will be set to present!
Can't wait!!

Jenny,
now this is the second time I have commented on your blog and I still enjoy it as much as the first time! I can really hear your voice through the blog as always. It is good that you have finally gotten used to using the sewing machine and other materials and you didn't break the sewing machine again for the 100th time. Did you make the clothes with custom hard to do patterns or use regular patterns? (Or as regular as patterns get, I wouldn't even know a regular pattern if I saw one). Also, how is my top hat coming along? I look forward to it and your presentation!
