yay! i was 'allowed' to buy an overlocker last week :oD i bought a janome, fairly basic model that was on sale at the sewing bug in belconnen. got myself some pretty variegated threads and now i think i'm pretty damn clever ROFL
it's been WEEKS since i've had time to sew - i've joined a group on eb trying to get everything done around the house. only problem is that i NEVER get everything done, you can NEVER (rarely) tell i've even done anything and i NEVER get time to do anything fun :o( so yesterday i decided to sew no matter what... except miss rory seems to be going through a bit of a growth spurt and fed 2 hourly for 24 hours *yawn*
today i finally got her to sleep and i sewed!
i used teh little 2 piece pattern i traced off a pair we bought http://brazenscrafts.blogspot.com/2006/04/rorys-pants.html and i cut it a bit bigger - as she has grown a LOT since that photo was taken! i cut it out of gorgeous stretch rib velour. i used my rainbow variegated thread to edge everything and the only sewing i did was the initial attaching of the waist elastic to the pants.
i got so carried away i broke my first needle on my overlocker LMAO!!!!! i was trying to do a decorative overlock but *ahem* didn't quite manage it (thank goodness i decided at the last minute to do it on a scrap LOL)
the pants took me about half an hour from start (getting the fabric and pattern out) to finish, not including the breaking the overlocker bit LOL
eta: this is my overlocker
