My mom gave me a sewing machine for my birthday...two and a half years ago. It's been in the box this whole time. But yesterday I decided to get it out of the box and make some pajama pants. I bought the fabric and pattern about 2 years ago (with the intention of using them a lot sooner).
I'm not real good with reading directions. I get really frustrated, and just try to figure things out on my own. So Ashton had to show me how to work the machine. He was really patient, and I was really impressed with his knowledge! I had no idea he could sew! Anyways, it took about 7 hours to figure out the machine and actually make the pants. Ashton sat with me the whole time and helped me out. If you don't look too closely at the craftsmanship, the pants look decent. They're also big enough that should I gain 75 pounds, I can still fit into them!
