You're right though, don't look at the seams. <br /><br />I'm like you try to finish something before starting something else, I guess that's why I'm not getting anything finished :o)Straight Talking Mama!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13010105224878943505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100700459231643584.post-91370979031968131612010-10-10T12:44:16.225+01:002010-10-10T12:44:16.225+01:00I sort of am a procrastinator when it comes to my ...I sort of am a procrastinator when it comes to my own sewing mainly because I'm not at work. At work, I have to teach others and I have to see projects through. When I was young, I used to get or make a pattern, get the fabric, make the thing and then wear it that evening! It probably wasn't that well made which is the difference now. I do like to have lots of projects on the go but recently I've been making myself finish one before starting another. I don't think it matters though...as long as it's made in the end. xxxIvy Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11514980482704825331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100700459231643584.post-31538963574326023912010-10-10T12:37:27.852+01:002010-10-10T12:37:27.852+01:00yes true!

However, isn't vintage material expensive too (unless you buy it from a boot or yard sale or whatnot?)...<br /><br />I took the required Home Ec class in school (do they teach those any more?) and learned basic sewing, but other than running curtains and pillows up on the old machine, I'm afraid that's the extent of my sewing skills!1950s Atomic Ranch Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460669868967006928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100700459231643584.post-14536230123651318842010-10-10T11:20:46.597+01:002010-10-10T11:20:46.597+01:00ah honestly it's just a cold, but thanks!

I bought some vintage material yesterday and came home decided im going to try and make a dress, after buying a vintage pattern. I got as far as pinning, and cutting the fabric, the next step im going to look at today but i have to say i may still be sat there tonight looking at it and getting no where further, as i have never made an item of clothing let alone followed a pattern. And i only got my old sewing machine a few months ago, You could call me the virgin sewer. But heck its fun trying ;-) Hope you feel better soon and good luck with your sewing ideas.
