Hello everyone,
It’s Thread It Thursday!!!
At the beginning of the year. I made it my mission to try and overcome some of my sewing fears. This project entails one thing I have been afraid to tackle.
Well, readers, it wasn’t so bad after all. To be honest, it was great and easier than what I thought it would be. There was really nothing to fear at all.
My real issue is I just don’t want to ruin my project attempting thing’s I am not very experienced in….but how will I learn if I don’t try or push myself.
One of my sewing fears is making button holes……which means I had to use that really long button hole foot.
I decided to just go for it and let my fears/apprehensions go. It was well worth it!!! Because……
I love, love, love these pants. They are cute and comfortable. I can dress them up or down. Did I mention how comfortable they are?…..lol.
For the pants, I used Simplicity Pattern:
1428 View A
For this project, I used 2 1/4 yard of Dupioni from Hancock Fabric’s.
Black 1/2″ wide grosgrain ribbon from Dollar Tree.
I made the following alterations:
Cut 2 1/2″ off the length
1″ hem (turned hem under 1″ and then again 1″)
Did not add ribbon detail down the side of the pants. (I may try this next time with a different fabric.)
Took in each pant leg 1 1/2″ from the inseam starting at the knee to the bottom hem.
All in all this pattern was very easy to follow. I will certainly use this pattern more often. You can also check out the skirt I made using the same pattern here.
I was very happy that I tried a new sewing techniques that I had yet to try. Now, I just may tackle making a button down shirt!!!
I would love to know if anyone else has recently overcome any sewing fears??? Or if you have been sewing for years, share your story of what you had to overcome and how?
