However, I decided today I'm going to try and go forth in some new sewing adventures. For instance, my newest favorite blogger and girl crush, Darling Dexter, has done a few cute sewing projects by Built By Wendy. Check out this adorable dress:

Before you (and I) try to tackle a pattern, I'm soo happy to share that Jessica Schroeder is offering up her expertise to us! Check out her blog, she has written and video instructions.
I plan on joining in and making the skirt she's currently teaching. Here is her finished project:
So anyone out there doing the virtual sewing class with me? I'm going to go out and buy fabric this weekend...
hey bryn! yes - i plan on following jessica's sewing tutorials! i watched her vid last night, but haven't started. i got a sewing machine for xmas and have been practicing making a few baby items for friends, but that is about the extend of my sewing. lol!
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my goals for this year...but I need a sewing machine first! Looking foward to seeing your project!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to try sewing again. I did it in 4-H many, many years ago!
ReplyDeletei want to.... i need a sewing machine though! definitely show us your attempt though!
ReplyDeleteHow funny. Im about to take a sewing class. I've always wanted to learn so I don't know why I put it off so long.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I highly doubt this hobby will save me money.
Yeah I love her website and plan on joining her sewing class at some point...not sure if I'm going to do it right now though.
ReplyDeleteWow I love that dress. I also have a sewing machine around my house, but I have yet to actually use it. My husband is the one I give all my sewing projects too.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to give it try.
Argh, I would love to, but I don't have a sewing machine. I'd totally wear that skirt, though.
ReplyDeleteI am dying to learn how to sew. My grandma has offered me one of her sewing machines... I'm hoping to get a little talent by osmosis. Keep us posted on your sewing adventures.
ReplyDeleteLearning to sew was my project for the winter- I've made a skirt so far that I'm really proud of! :) I'm doing Jessica's sewing class too, I have the fabric and notions, but I haven't done lesson 1 yet b/c I keep forgetting to throw the fabric in the wash first. I'm really excited though, she's made it very beginner friendly. :) Darling Dexter makes such cute clothes doesn't she? I don't think I'll be at her skill level for quite a while, but it's fun to see where a sewing talent can take you. I'm so glad you're learning to sew too- keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about Jessica's class. I have all of my supplies, but I haven't actually started yet. I definitely want to see your skirt when you get done!
ReplyDeleteBryn- You were an AWESOME seamstress! I'll never forget those pajama bottoms - so cute. You're inspiring me again - I think I'll go and dust off my Viking and try to make some curtains...Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how to sew, but I love the skirt!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh. I LOVE that skirt. I always threaten to learn how to sew, but I never actually do it. My husband's in Seminary right now, an older professor's wife actually teaches a free sewing class each semester. I've avoided it because it seems so... I don't know... seminary wife-ish. But if I could sew a skirt like that, it just might be worth it.... ;)
