My very FIRST sewing project!

As I said in my SMILE post... I completed my VERY fist sewing project this week!

My FANTASTIC Momma asked if I had a night that she could come

Help me get my sewing machine all set up and help me start my project,

I was SO excited!

I went and bought all my supplies, and tried to get a head start before she arrived,

Yeah I got as far as laying out the fabric and opening the pattern,

after that I was LOST!

Then my amazing mom showed up and just like that, we were on a roll!

She showed me how to read the pattern, and how to lay it out on the fabric to be most effective!

She showed me how to get the thread on my bobbin, thread my machine and

walked me through the next steps of sewing my project...

I was so excited, and totally pumped for my project!

She had to leave after a couple of hours, but not with out first giving me some

pointers and direction on what to do next...

On Sunday, I thought I could just whip it out in a couple hours and be done with it...

Yeah, total wishful thinking! HA!

 After a few issues, sewing, unpicking, and improvising on a few things -

5 hours later I was done!!

So what was I making?? Here is the super -cute skirt pattern that I found...

And the finished product.... TA DA!!!!

I am very pleased with the way it turned out, especially for my first sewing project!

Although, I probably wont let anyone ever look too close  :)

I couldn't have done it with out all the help from

my wonderful and VERY talented Momma! THANK YOU!

I'm pretty excited now that I've got my machine up and running!!

I already have my next project in mind with my left over Zebra fabric!
