Pre-washing fabric!

I've got fabric in the washing machine, my pattern ready, and my ruffle foot on stand-by.  I'm going to try and make McCall's M6345.

The fabric I'm using is either one my mother gave to me or I secretly liberated from her house.  She has tons of fabric she's picked up at yard sales over the years. Old ladies must hoard fabric, because my mom would come home with boxes of fabric having spent only $1. The piece I have washing right now is at least 4 yards.

I know we're expecting a boy, but I have all of this fabric and all of these girl patterns.

Not sure how far I'll get on this tonight. I'm not sure I have enough elastic. We'll find out!

  • I hope it turns out well. I'm hoping to open an Etsy store eventually (which I know can't be advertised on here).  Sewing stuff to sell is the key to my getting a serger. If the hubs sees that I'm serious about sewing things for other people, he'll buy me one sooner.

  • Those are cute! Good luck and PIP when you're done.

    The Etsy thing is hard to keep up on. We had one, but we let it die out. We've found other avenues to sell though, mostly craft shows and farmer's market. (Our local market will let us sell if we've made it, but there's one near here that will only let you sell stuff if you've raised the animal who you sheered to make the yarn you used to knit it. It's a little insane.)
