for my first sewing project (since mrs. lenthy taught me how to sew a gym bag in the 5th grade) i decided to make kimono pajamas for my godson julian. this project started out great - i finished the kimono top with no problems. and that was supposed to be the hard part!
today when i went to sew the inseam of the pants, the lengths didn't match up. i read somewhere to start at the center and sew to the end and cut off any access, but that wouldn't work with this pattern since i had already attached the contrasting fabric to the bottom of the pants. i ended up bunching up the excess fabric at the crotch... pretty bad. there are definitely other problems i won't even get into. i learned a lot though! and will make another pair of these so that i don't feel like a terrible failure.
at least i know lisa will put these on julian even if we have to sew the pants to his diaper! ha. i was able to take some photos that made it look like i sewed it correctly... and one showing the terrible pants.
