In 2012-2013, I had fun hand-painting clothing/trainers/undies for her and some friends . . . this led to my interest in MAKING cool clothes myself! I also had cloth diapered her (and currently use cloth for my second, as well), so I eventually got curious about sewing my own training pants for her.
Through careful study of how some purchased trainers were constructed, internet research and ultimately buying some patterns, I experimented with making a couple pairs of training pants for her. She learned pretty quickly after I sewed these, so I didn't have much sewing to do for a while -- until I learned some friends were pregnant!
Thus in 2014 I began sewing some cloth diapers for their future babies . . . and it was really fun and relaxing! I learned my machine, got better and more efficient at it, and really loved the sense of accomplishment from the finished pieces. I kept going, trying patterns and making all sorts of clothes for my girl!
(I should add that I got hooked on fabrics at this point . . . eh heh heh . . . all those amazing colors and prints!! And soft, comfy knits! Wheeee!)
So now here I am, sewing every chance I get and trying new things for both my first daughter and now my second little baby girl! I keep picking up tips and tricks along the way -- I'm no expert, but I love learning and hope to steadily improve. I have a background in Design, and I think I've finally found the perfect outlet for my skills: making all these amazingly cute sewn things with my own two hands!!
On this blog I want to document the projects I've made from the start (a backlog of sorts, including painted shirts), and keep going with future projects, too. Sorry about any poor photo quality; I'm trying to get things up here quickly!
Thanks for reading!
