So my first steps into sewing

For my birthday in January I was given a sewing machine, because I really really would love to be able to sew.  I dream of making cute little dresses for the girls, adapting vintage clothes to make them my own and to make curtains and personalise our caravan.

I decided my first project would be the Miette skirt from the Tilly and the Buttons blog.  It has step by step instructions, so I thought it would be a doddle.  As ever I have been a touch optimistic about the ease of a crafty project, but yesterday I finally got round to marking and cutting out the pattern onto my chosen (cheap) fabric.  This took me over 3 hours thanks to the teeny one who disturbed me.  Anyhow.  Fingers crossed, I may be able to try and make it all fit together later today!
