I could actually make this


I mean, I did spent my entire college career doing work-study in the costume shop.

Think I'll skip the rope belt though, Steven. I'm not really feeling the whole nautical thing.

This post inspires me to make a nightgown too. Sewing is such a good excuse to watch bad tv.

    You're making me want to actually pull out and use my sewing machine. I got it for Christmas and still haven't taken it out of the box. Sad, I know.

    Any suggestions for projects for a beginner? (The last time I made anything was 10-12 years ago.)

    love you.
    I agree, sewing and bad* tv go hand in hand.

    I watched all of GG season one while making Parker's burger costume. I got no side eyes from the bf then.

    * in the yummiest way possible

    @Kristy curtains are easy and super satisfying to make. just be sure you WASH THE FABRIC (especially if it is $1/yd cotton) before you do the sewing. I forgot that important lesson and my curtains shrank almost three inches when I washed them three years later.

    sewing puts me in a shit mood. i can't explain why, it just does. i did make myself a pair of pajamas a few years ago, though. i ended up giving them to a friend because they just reminded me of what a shit mood i was in while making them.
    but i'm pretty sure i could hang with some curtains...

    I bet built by wendy has a pattern that would be similar to this dress in her new book of dresses.

    The key to enjoyable sewing is low pressure + good TV.

    Nightgowns and me are a total no-go. Am I the only one who ends up tangled up and unable to move?

    @Rachel nightgowns are really more for *lounging.* And it will soon be too hot for pajamas...
