My Sewing Journey

 Hello.  It's been a little while since I posted.  I started a new craft in the last few months.  This only started because I wanted to make some doll clothes for my granddaughter and nieces dolls.  It has really been a journey.  Ive gotten frustrated and set things aside for a couple of months, only to picked them back up to try again.  And guess what? I finished them. 

I bought my sewing machine back in 2015/2016 and it sat in the box. I had originally started the butterrick pattern the summer of 2019. I had never sewn before and every time I touched my sewing machine it broke.   I ended up putting it aside until covid happened.  I had to make some masks for family members and decided to figure out how to use my sewing machine. I figured out what I was doing wrong and how to use it.  

They have turned out so cute. Im looking forward to making many more outfits for the dolls but am also looking to branch out and make myself and my granddaughter some shirts, pj's, sweaters etc.  I also would love to try to make myself a wallet and purse.  I also have a sewing machine bag in mind too.  But step by step here.  Im hoping to start something a little bigger in size from doll clothes soon. Here are a couple of the items I have made so far.( Pattern credits below the images.)
