Mommy's model

Friday night, Nana and Papa came up so that Nana could give Mommy a sewing lesson. Daddy and Lauren bought Mommy a sewing machine for her birthday, but I had no idea where to start. I had bought a few things to make some items. And my gift from Nana and Papa (besides the lesson) was a box full of "things I'll need".

My first task was a pair of pajama pants Friday night. They turned out good....wild....and little large, but good. I'll wear them! Then on Saturday we tackled a little dress for Lauren. It turned out darling. I had a wonderful teacher! I definitely would not have been able to decipher the pattern lingo without her!

There are still a lot of things I don't know, but my head is filled with sewing knowledge. I've come a long way since last weekend when I opened the box and couldn't even figure out how to thread a bobbin...yes, it took me about 2 hours. But I managed to continue sewing even after Nana and Papa left yesterday and I finished a pair of pants for Lauren, got frustrated with the shirt and quit. But the shirt is staring at me right now and I'm determined to finish it. Wish me luck.

Here's some more pictures of my cheesy model! She'll never be a top model if she keeps smiling all the time! We need some more dramatic pouty looks! I think she likes her dress! She definitely liked all the attention.
