The first 2 skirts!

I was with  my mom at Hobby Lobby and she was getting patterns for school and I was standing at the desk where they cut the fabric and noticed on the pattern how is said "Learn to Sew" and then  I noticed how at the bottom of the pattern it said "Learn Basic Skills". That was then I think the light bulb went on and I thought "Hey, I could do this!". And I then told my mom I wanted to learn how to sew she then stated that "I made her day"  :)



This is my first pattern. I am going to make A and B. The only difference in them is that B has pockets and A does not have any pockets.
The above fabric is for B the one with pockets. The trim will be used on the pockets.
The above fabric is for skirt A. The trim will be about 3 inches from the bottom of the skirt.
 Look I can pin the fabric together! Also can cut out a pattern!
 This is skirt A. (The brown one is skirt A) Its all cut out and ready to go!
 This is for skirt B (the black skirt is skirt B). It is also cut out and ready to go.
 The is a picture of the seam. The machine that I used for this does not have slow down butten it is a one speed machince. On the other sewing machine there is a slow down button lol. This machine makes the edges even and pretty!
 This is when I was doing something not sure if this is the top or the bottom lol
 This is skirt B and the waist-line is compleate. and reday tobe sewed together.
 This is the bottom of the skirt B no rough edges!!!!
 Bottom of skirt A no rough edges here either!!!
 This is my trim attached to the bottom of skirt A.
 These are the pockets for skirt B with the fancy trim that I found!
 This is the skirt before almost done just has to go back in the surgery room one more thime to put on the pockets!
 Putting the pockets on!
 The trim sewed onto skirt A! And I managed to keep the stitching where it should be lol (on the trim)
The machine bit me!! Don't get to cocky with the sewing machice or it will put you in your place lol

The finshed skirts will be posted within a few days! Gotta get some elastic!!

Feel free to come back and see the finished product! Have a nice day!  :)  I would also like to thank my friend who helped me make this blog sight, THANK YOU SARAH.
