Sewing 101

I need a lot of practice when it comes to sewing. I wanted to make Audrey some PJ bottoms and it took several attempts but we finally got the job done. I ended up with a drawstring top and she was happy to wear the finished product. Here are the things I learned this time. 1. It is much easier to sew for Bailey than for Audrey, Bailey doesn't mind trying on the project 10 times durnig the process where as Audrey refused after the 3rd fitting. 2. Straight pins really are helpful when sewing, a lot easier to use than having to rip out your entire seam and start over. 3. Spray starch wasn't just for your Dad's work shirts, it can work actually help you iron straight lines. 4. Don't start a project with your 4 year old at 8 at night unless you both plan to be up until midnight.

Notice Audrey's muscles? Her arms are pretty muscular and I don't think I have seen a 4 year old with pecs before. Milk does a body good I guess!
