I started a story of how I decided to go learn how to sew, this is a continuation.
Here'sπ a link to the first part
So I stopped at where I said, I made lots of mistakes while sewing my first short. I'll be listing the few mistakes I made ππ. But before that, my material combination were quite off, but it didn't matter because I was just trying out something for the first time so I didn't really consider my material combination.
The picture above shows when I was about to join the zipper flap to the short, I got that one right tho, and I felt proud π
So in the picture above, I've joined the flap and I was done with adding the front and the back, remaining to join my waist band and my belt loops π. That's where the problem begun.
Anyways I was able to finish up MY FIRST SEWED SHORT AS AN APPRENTICE. Actually it took me almost 4 days to complete itππ, unlike now that I can finish a short within hours. It wasn't perfect tho, but I was definitely proud of itππ.
Here's a picture of the completed workπ
That's the front π
This is the backπ
So finally, I had to try it out. So I wore the finished workππ. That's where I discovered all the mistakes I made π₯Ί
So my mistakes were
I made short's waist was smaller than my actual waistππ
I missed 1 belt loop, instead of 6, I fixed 5
The length of the short was too short for Me
My lines were not really straight while sewing
And finally I used 2 different unrelated materials ππ
Anyways, I learnt from those mistakes, and now I'm better, I've sewn other shorts and trousers so far, and I won't say I'm Perfect, but I'm definitely better than I was few weeks ago.
If you're doing anything in life, keep on practicing, definitely, you'll never better with time.
Stay safe, and be happy
Wow! That's good! I mean don't worry about the mistakes coz that's how you learn and how you improve yourself. Hope to see more of your tailored pieces. I used to make dresses for my barbie doll before. Lol.
