My First Sewing Project


So, it's an elephant if you can't tell (with a button for an eye) and I think I'm going to add a light green ear a little bit behind the eye! There are a few mistakes but nothing I care too much about. I plan on doing something else on a pink shirt I have for Ashlyn and I'll probably make it a smaller design. I'm going to make her a dress sometime this week before our trip so wish me luck!!

That turned out great. Love it. What did you use behind the elephant? Good luck on the dress. I just made maeley one. Man I never knew how hard it would be to put in a zipper. Cant wait to see what it looks like. Have fun.

That's awesome Andrea (I feel silly everytime I type Andrea)!! I have been wanting to hand embroider some shirts like that for Noelle, but yours turned out so well, that maybe I will just bag the handstitching. Did you use any fusible webbing under the elephant?

That is so cute! Way to go on your sewing projects already! I hope to own a sewing machine one day so I can do my sewing projects too!
