I've been sewing for precisely 40 days but I have that lovely beginner spirit where I don't know what I'm not supposed to do! ;-)<br /><br />I skipped all the home dec, straight stitch projects and dove in headfirst. It's FUN.<br /><br />I am hoping I get to this point where I can make a lovely pair of trousers and jeans and the HUNDRED + reviews on PR alone means it's not too far fetched.<br /><br />GREAT job. These look amazing on you!SewCraftyChemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971798108420431518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679465491844920579.post-32709579724587502522013-02-27T12:47:52.032-05:002013-02-27T12:47:52.032-05:00thanks! i rave over your tutorial. so easy!thanks! i rave over your tutorial. so easy!lisa g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09891757600316953288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679465491844920579.post-13696581571072563372013-02-27T02:38:39.711-05:002013-02-27T02:38:39.711-05:00They look pretty darn good!

I would really like to try the single welt when I make a second pair. On the news tonight they showed how crowded the grocery and home improvement stores were in the NE with people doing storm prep.
