Don't believe everything you read on Ebay!

Oh dear.....WAY too long. I have an idea!

Not many pattern pieces, looks easy enough.....

So I have FINALLY finished (sort of) making this pattern. OMG- I read that a newbie sewer could make it in 2 hours. I DON'T THINK SO! About 10 hours later (lost count) I have come up with my dress. A little long though.... Whoops, my fault didn't read the pattern right. I am currently making corrections..... Sigh.

A new project for today.

I found this fantastic pattern last night on the net and downloaded it. Its my project for today, the aim is to finish one dress in size 3 for Retro Babe #1.

A brand new sewing machine for a brand new sewer.

....and my third attempt. Bored with making these now, its time to move on to bigger and better things.

My second attempt went like this. I am thrilled with how this one turned out.

My first attempt was using this fantastic Timeless Treasures Icecream Treats print. I just love this fabric!

I received my first ever sewing machine the other day. A brand new Brother Innovis QE200. I haven't done any sewing since using Mum's vintage Singer in Highschool. I bought it as a gift to me with the intention of making Modern Cloth Nappies- largely to fuel my cloth nappy addition. I unpacked it several days later and began to sew. Starting with something easy was my plan, and after finding this great easy pattern for babies smock dresses I was underway.
