. I have been planning on making a smock for my kids for a while AND I've been searching for a pattern to make a long-sleeved crafting smock. I could NOT find one anywhere (did I mention that I didn't look through purchase patterns.... I can't sew so I can't justify spending money on a pattern I'll most likely mess up). I decide How hard can making a pattern be???? My answer.... I shoulda paid for a freakin pattern!
I drew a picture of what I wanted the smock to look like on packing paper (I have a ton of it and I never really appreciated how handy the stuff is).
I drew it on the fabric
I cut it out (wrong.... clearly should of been paying more attention)
Redrew and adjusted pattern
finished cutting.
Started sewing (everyone tells you oh this is the easy part......... YEAH RIGHT! (maybe if you already know how to sew))
I finished.
It only took me a 4 hours from start to finish (which I'm positive that if you have even the slightest clue what you were doing it wouldn't take you that long)
There are a few things i would change.
1) pay attention when I'm cutting
2) go buy thinner elastic instead of using the elastic off the top of Dusty's underpants.
3) the neck... something weird is going on. I probably should of used bias tape (or whatever it's called) but I didn't know how
4) ask for help
For a first one, it's fine.
It's better than fine (as long as I don't focus on the many many mistakes)
Luce Loves it, in fact we had a little screaming match about taking the dang thing off. (mother of the year...I think so (except for the screaming.... although it was a good release))
