~ Back to sewing ~


Slumber party or Sleepover....

Either way, Ms. Debbie will be ready.

Isn't she cute in her new jammies?


Debbie is new to sewing so while she was visiting she wanted to try a simple sewing project.
She chose this cute little pattern.


She was so busy sewing...


and ironing...
(I just love those cute little pink glasses, don't you?)



 
Until THIS happened !!!
 

Does this look a little strange to anyone else?
We called them her "cowgirl britches".

  I warned her to really pay close attention to the instructions when sewing the pant legs because they are a little confusing.

They are sewed upside down!!
What should be the pant leg is now the waistband....
 
Can you guess how I knew that?
Yep, I've sewed together a pair of "cowgirl britches" myself before.

Now enters the dreaded seam ripper...

 


Not to worry...


She is back to sewing.
And they now look like this..


Now let's recap...

~From this~

~to this~


Now you see the difference don't you?

As you can see, that didn't discourage her one bit...
The pj's are complete and she is already on to another sewing project.


Great job, Deb!

When did it change from "a slumber party" to "a sleepover" anyway?

So glad to know I'm not the only one who does stuff like that! I may have to try that pattern, they turned out really cute. And I love the pink glasses too!

I'm an Ooompa-loompa! *lol* My sides still hurt from laughing so hard over the cowgirl britches... Good times, good times ;)

The pajamas look great! Such a wonderful first sewing project. I'm sorry it took me so long to come over here. I think when you commented on my post it was older than two weeks and the comment got lost in moderation. Anyways, the pajamas looks great! :]

I have so done the same thing! And I knew exactly what had happened when I saw the picture. :) Thanks for the laugh and bringing back good memories!
