Craft Day

So... Mal and I decided we are going to start having a craft day at least once a month. Well we had our first one on Monday. What an adventure! First of all, I have no clue how to sew and Mal just got her first sewing machine for Christmas. So mind you we are total sewing amateurs.

This was our project for the day:

Looks pretty easy huh? Well it wasn't! So we went to Target and got some supplies n' things. Sewing the ruffles was no big deal. It was the sewing the ruffles on the shirt that didn't go so well. Attempt #1: I sewed the front and back of the shirt together! Attempt #2: Ended up sewing pieces of the front of the shirt together, at this point I wasn't unable to undo the stitching so I gave up on that shirt.

So for practice I went and got an old shirt and gave it another shot. Yeah don't worry I did sew the front and back together again, but I was able to save the shirt this time. Here is how it turned out... It was so funny when Wes got home I showed him my work of art, he said, "Looks good honey, is it supposed to be straight?" OOPS!

Of course, Mallorie's turned out fabulous... I will keep you posted on our next craft day and there will definitely be more pictures because I am sure there will be plenty more blonde moments!
