Welcome to the FR weekly Thread Thread. With a thank you to meowmeow for the suggestion on the catchy name.
As I mentioned to some, I'm really a pre-novice seamstress. I'm even hesitant to use the word seamstress. But, with the little guy growing out of clothes SO quickly I figured I'd put some effort into making some of his play clothes. And with 2 years of being a stay at home mom, after 15 years as a professional civil engineer, my brain is in need of some exercise.
So I thought I'd start out by posting a couple of (bad) pictures of a previous project and then some info on what I'm starting on.
And in taking these pictures I see my son has managed to sneak his black crayon onto the back of this curtain. Sneaky little boys.
Here is a LINK to a free pattern for a simple ladies tank top that I thought I would try for myself.
This is a LINK to a free tutorial and downloadable pattern for purchase that I thought I'd try for Little Britches. I ordered fabric from Denver Fabrics online at $5/yd with 1 pair of shorts taking 3/4 of a yard in his size.
So, welcome to everyone. I'm super impressed and happy we have some men joining in. If anyone wants on or off the Thread Thread ping list just let me know. And please let's see pictures of your works in progress.
But this will be---how did Sam Clemens describe it?---a sivilizin' experience fer me.
And entirely my pleasure. Thank you kindly.
Please add me to your ping list. Thanks...
