In a wild moment of enthusiasm, I signed up for a sewing class on Monday and attended the class on Tuesday. And I loved it. I think the last time I touched a sewing machine was at least 10 yrs ago if not more and I did not make anything then. Just some alterations. And I used my mom's (updated) analog sewing machine then. At the class I was pleasantly surprised at how outdated I am, machines with needle threaders and a button that snips off the thread and I'm pretty sure many yet to be discovered features. And I used a rotary cutter and mat for the first time too. My mom is going to love that one! Yeah, I HAVE been living under a rock.
Well turns out my sewing skills are not so bad after all (except for the occasional crooked line). Here's a picture of what I made thanks to the very patient and wonderful teacher Judy at my local fabric store - Eddie's Quilting Bee. I'm definitely going back for more!
And here's a new treasury created in honor of the upcoming Mother's day. Basically they are, for the most part, presents that I might like for Mother's day, well for that matter ANY day. Anyone out there listening?

ReplyDeletei like your idea for a treasury - i think i might make one of 'stuff i want' to! (or perhaps 2... or 3... or 4...!)
Thank you! Pretty proud of it myself, it being the first bag I made and all :-).
