Oh, I wish I could sew. I really do. The idea of making outfits tailored exactly to me, with all my own ideas makes me drool a little bit.
But I'm not a sewer. I'm about as helpful as the animals that helped Cinderella make her dress - i.e. I'm really great at holding things. But I want to learn, so I'm starting with some very basic projects. These pajama pants are probably the biggest and most complicted thing I've ever sewn. It's also the first thing I've ever been able to actually wear!
I used a grea tutorial that is good for visual learners and all you need is the supplies and a pair of pants. Cats are also recommended, but not stricly necessary.
All you need is some craft paper and a pencil, the fabric of your choosing, elastic for the waist, plus pins, thread, and a machine. And a cat. It's so simple even I can make them. For the link to the tutorial and more information, click here for the full blog post.
