“DO… OR DO NOT. THERE IS NO TRY.” – YODA

Such an appropriate quote for today. And a good summary about how I’ve been feeling about my sewing and blogging… so today – Star Wars Day 2015 – I will DO!

Last week, for my pattern making class, I sewed up my first muslin. First I had to cut out my paper pattern… it almost felt wrong to cut something that I’ve spent so much time drawing out to perfection.IMG_2876

After it was cut out and all the markings were transferred to the muslin material, it was a relatively easy task to sew it up – except that I HATE using such a long stitch length! Drove me nuts!

Always press each seam and every dart.

Cut. Stitch. Press.

Next week – PANTS – Which means, I have to learn to fit butts – YIKES!
