/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Made short pyjama pants. First time making an elastic casing, also first time making a garment. Construction was quite difficult. I was trying to follow the instructions for the pattern but they were very terse and I couldn't visualize what's going on. Then my mom made me rip apart what I've sewn together and told me how I should assemble it.

I guess there can be more than one way to assemble an item, but usually some ways are more preferred than others, right? Like it might be easier to trim seam allowances if you go in a certain order, etc. is what I'm imagining. Maybe next time I should try to find a video tutorial.

My goal this year is to get to the point where I can make stuff I could wear outside the house as well.
