I'm impressed! I started my Amy Butler Frenchy shoulder bag and it is looking GREAT! I bought the pattern online from America and it came as a pack with some fabric as well. I also bought some other fabric from the same site (http://fatquartershop.com/) as it was on sale. I used the cheaper fabric first to see how I would go and then I'm going to use the good fabric.
I googled the pattern number that I'm waiting on (Simplicity 4589) and there were heaps of pics of finished tops on various flicker accounts. They all look so great and I can't wait to do mine!
I have ordered the pattern from a UK site and it has been shipped. Couldn't be bothered waiting longer for Spotlight to order it in.
I went to Spotlight on New Year's Eve and guess what??? I got one of my patterns! It's the one with the pants as well as the tops and little jacket. So, thought to myself that I would give making some pants a go.....
I bought myself some funky combat / army cotton print and was ready to go! Since I'm quite a novice sewer (quite? I AM a novice!!!) I asked my mum to come around and help out. As we cut out the pattern pieces I could feel my excitement growing!!!!! We then cut out the material and started to SEW.....
We managed to get the legs all done and still have to do the elastic waist and the hem.
The were pretty simple, so I can see myself making pyjamas, house pants and going out pants.
Will post pics later once they are finished.
