Yayy! I am so excited because this is my first sewing project!!! The Colette bloomers pattern is a great first project pattern for beginners. I got lots of practice sewing straight lines -- especially because I had to keep ripping and re-sewing the straight lines! I spent about 15 hours on this, and I don't regret it because I love my bloomers. I am going to make another pair to get more practice.

This is also my stash busting project. It uses Christmas fabric I bought last fall with hopes of making Christmas ornament gifts. Err . . . it was a nice thought.

Congratulations on your first project! You've done an excellent job.  And I'll bet that the next few pairs don't take any way near as long. (Three cheers for the stash-busting too :-)
