Very cute! I don't know what Pimms is, but it surely didn't hurt things.

That is very pretty. Are you sure you are just learning??? The Pimms (whatever) must have been a big assist!

Re: Dress Making/Sewing Machine Lessons with mum!!!
You are one lucky person! I don't have anyone to teach me how to sew or knit/crochet. I've had to teach myself through books and online (thank goodness for the internet). The little bit of things that I was taught by hands on with someone (when I was a youngling) is so much easier than on your own. Now when I learn something new I involve my daughter so we can learn together and that way she isn't in her 30s trying to figure this stuff out. Plus (I'm sure your mom feels this way) I have to say my heart swells with pride and love when I do things like this with my daughter cause it's such a huge bonding moment. Can't have enough moments like that with our Mommies!
Re: Dress Making/Sewing Machine Lessons with mum!!!
Both the Pimms and the dress are yummy!

Re: Dress Making/Sewing Machine Lessons with mum!!! 13/8 upd
Oh.. very fun!
And I could go for a Pimms! I haven't had one all summer!
I wish I could sew. I've talked to an aunt about teaching me.. her daugher rolls her eyes and says- good luck with that- I've been asking for years. Mom has 4 sewing machines. All inherited, all with one thing or another wrong with it.. but also all are 30+ year old, workhorse machines. She sews so rarely that she doesn't want to put the money into repairing any of them.
One of these days I will have to learn.
Have fun with the lessons!

In just one class? Pretty soon you'll be teaching the class. You have a real talent there!

It's going to be a cushion, the squares need to get a bit bigger first!!!
All this started just by my wanting to use the machine to edge my cross stitch fabric!!!

Re: Dress Making/Sewing Machine Lessons with mum!!! 13/8 upd
wow you seem to be doing great! I would love to learn how to use a sewing machine. Although I feel if I learned how to make clothes my already ridiculously full wardrobe would explode!
I love the fabric you used for the babys outfit also

Re: Now having Quilting Lessons - 28th Oct.
So as well as the cross stitch quilting lessons are going well.
Here's my cushion finished.
And now I'm making a quilt for my daughter and here's the first 5 squares for it.
