My first sewing project with a pattern

These little baby Kimonos are officially the first things I've ever sewn with a pattern. My friend Stephani was having a baby boy so I got an early start knowing it these would take me forever. Luckily Alison, my sewing coach and motivator, was there to force me to finish them before we left Philly. I was so frustrated by such a difficult time I was having that I wanted to put them off for "later." Good thing I had a friend to buckle me down to finish them early because the little baby boy was born over a month earlier than expected. Congratulations on getting here so early little Benjamin!
