I made Matt a cover for his electric guitar's amplifier for Christmas. But in order to do this, I needed to buy some fabric. Some of our friends were out of town for Christmas, so we had access to their car. I took a little trip up to the Palisades Mall to JoAnn's Fabrics. Much to my dismay, it seems that JoAnn's location is closing. So everything was on sale. While browsing the aisles, Lexi caught sight of some Hello Kitty fabric that she just fell in love with. "Mom, can we please get this?" I decided I'd also buy a pattern for a nightgown and try my hand at clothing. So we got a pattern. We got the lime green fabric. And this is my model wearing what I made:
Again, this was my first time sewing clothing. My first time dealing with sleeves. My first time *gathering*. This fabric was not the best to experiment with because it is kind of delicate and unravels a whole lot. But overall, I am quite pleased with the result. My mother walked me through the steps, which was extremely helpful and comforting. She made some fabulous clothes for my sisters and me when we were kids.
