Last week, I participated in Selfish Sewing Week over at Made with Moxie. I reviewed the Dixie Movies in the Park Shorts. You can see the original post HERE.
But thought I needed to have the review on my own bog as well! Enjoy!
Hello fellow selfish seamstresses! I am Brianne from Ali Cat & Co.
(alicatco.blogspot.com). Thank
you, Jill, for having me over at Made With Moxie. It's a pleasure to be here talking about selfishness. I think we can all agree that a little
bit selfishness is necessary to help us detox.
I started sewing when I had my first daughter. I mostly sewed for her with an
occasional bag for myself. Lately,
thanks to some really fabulous friends of mine, I've become 75% selfish sewist.
One day, it hit me like a bag of bricks. WHY sew for my children? They grow so fast; it seems like a
waste. My oldest daughter has
become extremely particular about her clothes recently. My youngest daughter wears the oldests'
hand me downs. So I ask the
question again. WHY?
We can all agree that store bought clothes rarely have a
perfect fit and tailoring store bought clothes can be difficult. What's the answer? Make it myself. Not only are there AWESOME women's
patterns out there, but you can make pretty clothing that fits for less than
the store.
Believe me, once you go selfish, you'll never go back!
Do I need to continue to twist your arm? I hope not, so lets
get on with the beautiful shorts pattern from Dixie DIY Patterns.
