Ladies & Gentlemen...

You're not going to believe this, but I think I have a hobby now!  (Whitney - get excited!!!).  I got a sewing machine - for beginners I might add - for my birthday.   I kept thinking....how hard can it be!

I had talked about taking lessons and thought "Nah, I'll watch some tutorials...how hard can it be!".  So my first project - simple...I hemmed some khaki's for work.  2nd project, made a dress for Annyson out of a gawd-awful pillow case from the 70's.   I needed something to practice on.  3rd project - hemmed a friends pair of really expensive jeans!  I was nervous!!   4th project - another dress that I LOVE!


I am so excited!  I've been looking for some vintage pillow cases on eBay and found this one.  It was hand made and wasn't a perfect square, so working w/ it was a bit annoying, but I think it turned out so cute!!!!

Can't wait to do more!  

Another thing I've been thinking....so, most pillow cases come w/  2.  So I'm gonna save the other one incase our next kid is another little lady so they will have matching dresses made by Momma!  Yea - I think I'm pretty cool.  

Stay tuned!  I"ll post more projects as I complete them!
