I can see why nap time sewing projects can be so addictive. I started this little project yesterday while Caed was sleeping. Today, I popped him into nap time a wee-bit early so that I could finish my project. (He didn't object, so he probably needed the extra sleep, right?)
I bought this set at Wal-Mart on super clearance. It's probably intended for kids learning to sew...but in the world of sewing, I'm just that: a kid! I have learned a lot with this project. I got to practice hemming, create a casing with an elastic neckband, and use a gathering stitch. I'm super excited about the gathering stitch. The hem on the dress is a little wacky, but I'm really pleased with the way the ruffle turned out. Well, let's be honest, the ruffle on the nightgown is my favorite part! I wonder how many things I can add ruffles to? You may be seeing my kids in some very ruffly clothing in the coming months!
I still have much to learn (much, much to learn)...but I am SO enjoying the process!
