Hi all. *waves*
I'm Lexy. Mostly knitter, occaisional sewer.
My boyfriend's parents just gave me his grandmother's Singer 348 (circa 1967 I believe) which is seen on my blog here. It is so blue and beautiful and in terrific shape. While I had not touched a sewing machine in years I immediately made this Retro Butterick pattern out of a navy crepe with white bias tape. It's not great... my hemming skills could use some practice and I need to re-learn a little patience, but I love it and the circle skirt hides my poor hemming skillZ :) Hopefully I'll learn lot's from all you more prolific types (I have already while stalking the blog)
I have pictures but haven't uploaded them yet. I will post once I do. It is an absolutely adorable dress, I'm in love.
Next up I have two more Retro Butterick patterns: This one in a pink with green and white dots, I hope to finish it in time for my cousin's wedding in July. Then this one (the shorter v) in RED for the opening of Carmen at Portland Opera in September.
I'm sure I'll come crying to you with stupid questions requiring lot's of help, because that's how I am.
