I've kicked up my sewing a good bit lately, and have been branching out into clothing. I'm really one who learns by doing (a lot of doing) and I figured if I ever wanted to be as comfortable sewing as I am knitting, I'd better get to it. Right now, I'm just sewing for Zoe. Since she's itty-bitty, it doesn't take quite as long to get something finished.
I really like using the patterns from Viola Lee because they're so easy to follow. The written instructions are very clear, plus there are tons of photos. The Zoe Ruffle Dress/Top is my second finished item using VL pattern, and my third pattern ever (the first was a pillowcase dress). Yes, they're that easy. Another plus to using these patterns is that she allows you to sell items made from her patterns. Cool, right???
The fabrics I used are from JoAnn's. I was able to use fabric I had leftover from the pillowcase dress I made which is totally awesome since I didn't need to buy more fabric. Wait... since when is not buying new fabric awesome? Hmmmm....
