I learned a few things while sewing yesterday. I learned that pinning is really important, and that I am not as big as I think I am.
Pinning! Just like my cooking, I like to just wing it with most things crafty and not follow directions. Sewing is not forgiving and pinning is important. I'm just a beginner, but I really want to make quality. This for sure involves pinning!
I also learned that I am not as big as I think I am. I've always been hard on myself, but when making a skirt I have to be realistic. I've lost a lot of weight after baby but my shape is all weird. I measured myself way too large and my skirt turned out ridiculous. I had to pull out all the stitching and start over. I read somewhere, "a good seamstress knows how to use a stitch ripper".
I changed the dimensions and ended up with a pretty cute skirt. I'm still losing weight and working hard so I hope it doesn't fit for long. But I guess then, I can just unstitch it and start over. Or, save it for the next time I'm in the in between phase of baby weight.
