Sewing adventures...

I like to teach myself new things. I'm very notorious for starting projects and never finishing them...mainly because I get bored once I realize I can do something. I just like the challenge of seeing if I can do it or not.

Newest task: sewing

My mom let me borrow her old school sewing machine. I didn't really want to purchase a sewing machine and then hate sewing. (Nate thought borrowing was a FABULOUS idea.)



I decided to work on a receiving blanket for a friend of ours who just had a little girl. I found this idea at http://mayamade.blogspot.com/2008/11/simple-gifts.html Thanks for the great advice!

Here's the finished product....not so shabby for my first adventure.

Last night I tried to make a pillow cover. My mom lead me astray and told me cut an inch and a half off of the fabric. I did and then I was an inch and a half off. You can't win them all....

I think there may be more sewing adventures to come!
