Failure but ... / 今回は失敗談を

This time I share my failed project. I started sewing a shirt for my daughter for up coming spring/summer last weekend. It's good to sew/knit clothes one season ahead ... This is one of the improvements I wanted to do for long.

週末に春夏の子どものシャツを縫い始めました。1-2シーズン先のものを縫うのがいいことはわかっていたのになかなかできず、ここはよい改善。

I sewed most of the part. Then I got to know it can be too tight for her and a shirt with cotton 100% fabric is not easy to wear for her age.

・・・が、ほとんど縫い終わって子どもに試着してもらおうとするときつい。生地が綿100%ということもあり、格闘になりました w

So my improvement will be:

  • See the size in advance by comparing the pattern and existing clothes with good fit
  • Use elastic fabric (for my daughter at least). It may be also good to avoid ironing process ;)

今後は、型紙を作ったらぴったりの服と合わせてちょうどいいサイズか見る、子どもの服は基本的に伸びる素材が吉という教訓を得ました。

I'll finish it and bring it to my friend with smaller daughter. I use similar fabrics I got from my friend for easy summer shorts for my daughter.

このシャツは縫い終えて、もうちょっと小さい女の子のいる友人に使ってもらえるか聞いてみようと思います。似た感じの布をあと2枚もっていて、残りの2枚は夏用の短パンにしようかなと思います。

It's not needlework but I had fun time with my daughter baking cookies. Without her I may not had a chance to make baby/kid clothes or bake this kind of cookies. I'm thankful to the small person who brings me many interesting things.

これは針仕事ではありませんが、週末に型抜きクッキーを子どもと作って遊びました。子ども服を縫うのもそうで、こんなことって子どもが生まれなければすることもなかったのかなと思うと、なんだか不思議な訪問者が人生に現れたような気分でもあります。おもしろい機会をたくさんありがとうね!

I'm sorry to hear that the project didn't go the way you expected. But on the other side another baby will have a nice shirt to wear :) And you baked cookies! YAY! And they are so cute and I'm sure they were delicious. There is always something what makes us feel good, we just need to look for it.

Thank you for sharing and have a nice day!

the cookies look yummy
the material is pretty... sounds like nice memories

Thanks rebeccabe. Ja I experience many nice (sometimes funny & messy) things brought by my daughter ;)

Knit fabrics can be easy wear :)
Good to have friends with smaller daughters, and lovely to enjoy your daughter 😍

I learned I should have chosen knit fabric after fighting for fitting with my daughter ... Learning by doing as always! Sometimes I feel she is an interesting visitor to my life bringing many nice new things :)

Thank you esteemapp! :)

わ~、分かります。子供がいなければ経験していないだろう⋯ってこと、沢山あります。

今は夕食の後、娘達と自転車で公園や湖に行くこと、息子が車の仮免を持っているので、私が車の助手席に乗って、息子の運転でドライブをすることが楽しいです (^^)v

動物園の動物みに行ったりしなかっただろうななんて ;) いわゆる「自分の子」という感じではなくて、おもしろいものをわちゃわちゃ持ってくる visitor が私の人生にやってきたぞと見てしまうことがあります。

Aaah too bad it is too small for your own daughter, but I am glad it will be used by a smaller girl yet :) The fabric looks very lovely and pretty! And I'm sure you will have learned from the experience to make a better dress in the future :D

And those cookies look delicious!!!

Next time I'll test the pattern first with her existing clothes ... I just started cutting out the fabric with an old pattern. Many things to learn. Small people grow so quick :D

Arigato @c-squared :) I voted for you!

always a little sad when you make unsuccessful projects. but you did a great job finding the perfect way out! in the end, this way we gain experience :) the cookies look great and I am sure that it is tasty :)

Ja totally it was "learning by doing" ;) Making cookies was fun too :)

Oh noooo that could have been me :-D Sewing a wonderful shirt and only afterwards checking the measurements. I have made two skirts with pleats and zipper (which I seldom do, because I find it complicated) and they both do not fit me :-DDD I have gifted them two friends who have a different figure. So, I think you made no failure but a wonderful gift <3
And the cookies have so nice faces :-D Some look a bit surprised, as if they where thinking „Oh, I am not sure, am I a cookie? Or perhaps I am a cat... hm complicated“
Are they Mürbeteig?

Good point. It was "a wonderful gift" :DD

Yes it's Mürbeteig. I didn't know the word but ingredients wise it's quite Mürbeteig. You can make these faces with chopsticks, knife and spoon. It's a fun no cost deco :)

I am not very good at decorating... much better in eating the raw dough :-DDD

I think I'm good at eating the raw dough as much as you are ...................... :DD

I remember @phoenixwren is also very experienced in the art of raw dough eating... perhaps we need a new group on steemit 🤪🤪🤪

It's true, not all projects go to plan, but it's great that you still made a lovely gift for your friend's daughter out of this one! Which means it's not a failed or waster project :D

Ya, that's right and thank you for the kind comment vliet :) That's needlework. And also it was good that I learned some things for next attempt ;)
