I'm Gonna TRY!!!


However, in other news I have decided to learn how to sew. I see all of these cute clothes all the time and when I go to the websites to order one of the adorable dresses I find out that the sizes stop at 12! Ok, so I am definitely not a size twelve, as much as I would like to be, so sewing some of the amazing dresses is my only option. 

So, naturally I got online and found a super cute fabric store in Denver that gives sewing lessons and signed my happy little self up for the next class (which happened to be that day!).  I went to the class, struggled through the whole thing... BUT made a fabulous pillow case!


The very next day... being my ambitious self I decided one class was enough and I could go get a pattern and start sewing this super cute dress! I got a "EASY" pattern, picked out my fabric (with the help of my loving boyfriend), got some scissors, and other little sewing tools. I went home, pumped and ready to sew, and opened the pattern. This is when I started thinking that maybe, just maybe, one sewing class isn't enough. I read through all of the instructions, looked at the pattern pieces, folded them all back up, and stuck them back into the nice little Joannes bag! 



After a little break, and the initial shock of how hard this might be I have pulled everything out and started cutting out the pieces. It does help that I have this super amazing MOM who can help me if I have any major problems... Once everything is cut, I will post some of the tips that I have learned so far!
