This is our practice run of the sewing machine that we named "Jan" in a range of crafty "Perfect Housewives to be" quests! Which are going fairly well so far!
We found some amazing cute material that we couldn't really use for much but we could use for cute bags! And yes amazingly matching bags! We then went on to make our dresses. We had white lining material, white with hot pink polka dot material and black material for the skirt.
(Top Left) Bear sewing her bag with Jan.
(Top Middle) Penguin sewing the last bits of her straps!
(Top Right) Bear sewing on the straps to complete the bags.
(Mid Left) Penguin drawing out the pattern shape for the lining of the top part of the dress.
(Mid Middle) Our completed matching bags. Fully functional even with heavy stuff in! They cant hold as much as some of our other bags but they can hold A4 portrait and landscape! But we are still really proud!
(Mid Right) Penguin sewing the top part her her dress.
(Bottom Left) Our skirt patterns laid out on the floor ready to be cup sewn and attached to the bodice of the dress. which was a lot of fun to do with silly tailor chalk and tissue paper patterns!
(Bottom Middle) Penguin sewing without her "Concentration Poking Out Of The Tongue" face!
(Bottom Right) Bear loving her new bag!
So now we have half-made dresses and an awesome bag! Fashionably matching - which seems to be our new thing! Cannot wait to finish the dresses! It got late and Jan is very loud and makes everything shake because we sew on top speed!!!
