My next project... Vogue 8472

So I still haven't finished sewing the simplicity pattern yet. Which is terrible as it may never get done now! I can procrastinate like nobodies business. I've already cut everything out, its already to go, I always start the skirt first as I find this the easiest part. My fabric is a cotton sateen, i think it was called Monet Blue, but don't quote me & a cream/ nude lining.

In other news, next week I start another sewing class on saturdays at another sewing centre, this one is a little far, its in Werribee where I bought my machine from. My husband loves I have a hobby, but I'm so glad that i take care of our $$$ as sewing is rather an expensive hobby, but well worth I think. Anyhoo soon enough I may have two dresses done!

In the middle of New Look 6723...

This is my first dress (making view D, I'm using a beautiful blue & floral cotton sateen fabric) that I've ever attempted to make, and its going well....except I've lost my pattern instructions for page 3. :(
I'm not to sure if I'll be able to find on the Internet, but here's hoping!


Once I've finished 6723, which I'm sure I'll make again, I already have 3 patterns cut, waiting to be made...but I'll show you once i can find my camera cord.

Bye for now,
Kat

Well hello...

and thanks for stumbling across my blog, sewing with patience.
My name is Kat and I've been toying with the idea of blogging about my adventures in dressmaking for a while, so here I am! I'm only new to sewing, I started in Febuary of this year! We all have to learn sometime, don't we?

Reading other people's blogs, especially Gertie's has given me so many ideas! I really enjoy wearing vintage inspired clothing, things nipped at the waist and big pouffy skirts. Plus all the florals fabrics out there, I just cant't seem to stay away from them. Maybe this should be called sewing with grandma. :p

One thing I've learned about myself while sewing is I don't have much patience, especially if I make a mistake! I can make the same mistake over and over again which is frustrating, but I really do enjoy sewing! I plan only to make dresses, vintage and  modern as I have enough tops and pants to last a life time. Hehe.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog.

Cheers,
Kat
