An Adventure in Sewing......

Hey! I finally finished my Liberty Jane T-shirt today! I had some help with my mom because some of the instructions in the pattern are a little unclear and some parts are hard to do. For the most part though, it turned out fine and I'm very happy with it!!!


I chose a nice lavender fabric to make my shirt out of. I got it in the bag of fabric I got at ThreadFest (to see the photostory on it, click here). It was great because it wouldn't stretch and their was no grain to worry about! I'm very pleased with the shirt because it's simple and will go with a lot of things.

Updates: I have started a new page called AG Book Reviews! There you can read summaries and book reviews on AG books.

A Bag of Fabric...


Created, Photographed, and Made by: Gabby

It was a normal day in my AG Area.
Kaylen was playing with Pepper.
And Kaya was playing with Coconut.
And Kirsten was pouring Lemonade.
All of a sudden, Pepper took off running!

"Pepper come back here!" Kaylen called.

"Pepper come back!"
Instead of running around the whole room, Pepper jumped into a bag of-
fabric?
"Pepper! Why are you in this bag of- what even is this- oh, fabric?"
"Fabric?"
"Fabric?"
"Yeah, fabric. I think it's Gabby's."
Kirsten and Kaya walked over.
"Yeah it probably belongs to Gabby. We really shouldn't touch it........." Kirsten told the girls.
"Oh what's the harm? Besides this velvet is soooo soft and pretty!"
"Oh all right," Kirsten walked over to the bag. "Hey look at this fringe!"
Then Pepper and Coconut jumped on!
"Pepper! Coconut!" The girls giggled.
The girls then took out all the crazy fabric they could find and designed weird looks.

Kirsten got buried under it a some point....
Kaya added a fun yellow piece of fabric around her waist.
Then, they posed for a pic!

The bag of fabric was actually mine and I got it at ThreadFest. There was this great deal- all the fabric you could stuff in that bag was only a $1! I'm planning to make some doll clothes with my mom's help later.
