My Current Venture!

This is my first attempt at blogging. I got interested after I started listening to podcasts! Those things rock! From there I started reading blogs. I found that I really like them and was sorta of entertaining the idea of trying one myself. I told my husband this and he (at least I think) thought it was a good idea. He and I started trying to come up with a good name. I love those little smart titles. With his help we came up with SewMuch. My original one was Sew Little Time, but it was taken.

I am very enthusiastic about my crafting. I currently am making a dress, a summer one, for my DD (dear daughter). It’s McCalls Pattern 4814. I just started my venture into apparel. And I LOVE it!!! I have made this dress already once for her, but it was very large. Last night I completed my second dress. I believe this one might be a little large also. I made it a size 3, but wow are those sizes huge! I had read on PatternReview.com several reviews on this pattern that did state it was large. I really love PatternReview. It’s a wonderful source on many things. But I find the pattern reviews a real time saver. Also I think I will look at serger reviews when I get one.

My next project is a pair of PJ’s for my DS (dear son). He is so excited about them. He went with me and picked out the pattern and spider man material. He loves to show everyone who comes over his PJ’s. His excitement is so great, it gets me excited about it.

I’m sure you’ll hear more about my clothing attempts as I really do enjoy making them. I’m also very excited to take a beginning knitting class in June. Sadly I was not taught by my mother or grandmother, I learned what I know from books mostly. I think it might be good to have a real live person show me how to do it correctly. But alas I have to wait until June!

Hopefully I will get a digital camera soon so I can have photos of my “creations”.
