Disappointed
Yesterday was supposed by part two to the Trade Secrets sewing class I was supposed to take but when I got there I was told the instructor was fired. Can you believe that? They fired her in the middle of the season. They could have waited until all the Fall classes were over and then canned her ass. Actually, she probably deserved it being so high on herself. They told me she wasn’t showing up to a number of her classes. But I have a feeling as disorganized as they are that they were part to blame. So needless to say I didn’t get the info. she was going to share in the second half. I did get my money back for the class and another class that was also cancelled because of her abrubt dismissal (sp?).
Anyways, I have finished my dd’s halloween costume and will post a picture shortly. I now have started on a pair of pants that I want to make from Burda’s World of Fashion September issue. I traced the pattern from the book which is a real maze:
I purchased some cheap fabric ($2.99/m) to sew up a muslin (pre-test) pair of pants so I could play around with the fit. Once I have perfected the fit, then I will purchase more expensive fabric for the actual garment. I have read that it is a very good idea to do a muslin before sewing the actual garment because it could save you a lot of money if the pattern is not very good.
Over the winter, I would like to sew the following patterns:
