My girls have experimented on my machine but I must admit I get really anxious that they'll break my machine and hover annoyingly... you sound like a much nicer mum than me! Your Miss A is to be congratulated.

I didn't touch a sewing machine again until I started to teach myself about 8 years ago.<br />Thanks so much for joining the sew along!CurlyPopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073292585833387749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3307274632868379132.post-71698207332299253022012-05-31T16:06:18.900+10:002012-05-31T16:06:18.900+10:00Very cute skirt... she did a great job!:) I always...Very cute skirt... she did a great job!:) I always made clothes for my barbies when I was little and then progressed to making my first pattern for myself when I was about 16yrs old.. a very bright purple cord knicker bockers I wanted to make for Duran Duran event we were going to!

I remember wearing it at least once, don't know what became of it. Come to think of it, it's the only dress I've ever made myself. I stuck to skirts, much easier , heheClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742003349610251189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3307274632868379132.post-75827385223446962422012-05-31T11:51:03.003+10:002012-05-31T11:51:03.003+10:00Cute skirt!

I also never wore much when I first sewed, and remember my mum being my 'consultant' and then the finisher! But it's nice to remember those times anyway.bechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10896137784154285124noreply@blogger.com
