My First Completed Project

The Blue Shirt/Blouse from my sewing class

Well I finished my first complete project. I am pretty happy and impressed with myself :)

I did not really take any pictures of the process as I was in class and I was so busy trying to pay attention that I forgot to. It was pretty basic construction that taught me interfacing, several ways of seaming and finishing as well as buttons.

I think my next plan of actions is to buy some new fun fabric and make the pattern again, this time by myself. I want to reinforce what I learned and I also want to try tailoring it a bit. It was on the larger size and I think I could go down a size fairly easily.

Here are some pictures of the completed shirt:

I love your new top. It is a beautiful color and the big buttons are so in now. I am really proud of you and looking forward to your first Victorian project. Love MUM
