Sew Cute

I took my first sewing class today. Please pardon the ridiculous pun used for the title of this post. I had so much fun! I learned SO much today, and I'm so happy that I got to take this class. It was a three hour class and we made a tote bag! We learned all about the sewing machine, so I'm hopeful that I will be able to learn how to use MY sewing machine too. It seems like it may be a bit of a pricey hobby, but I really enjoyed it today. I'm hoping when we move into our new place I can set up a little crafty type of station with my desk in the living room.

Here is what I made today!

How cute! I just might have to try to make one sometime. I really do want to learn how to use my sewing machine better... Right now I have trouble sewing in straight lines.

I can scan the tutorial she gave us and email it to you if you want! It was pretty easy (at least, it was following along with her!). I can't really sew a straight line either, but it looks good enough for now! I hope to someday be able to make cute skirts, but we'll see if I get that ambitious.

First Finished Quilt!

Image
I am so proud. After over a month of working on it (off and on), I finally finished my first quilt! For some reason I was having anxiety about quilting and especially binding it, but it ended up being totally fine. I don't know why I was so worried. It turned out great! Mission accomplished... he likes it!

Mother's Day

Happy day after Mother's Day! I hope you got to enjoy the day with your mom, or if you can at least talk to her on the phone. I'm writing this the week before Mother's Day, but I plan to Skype with my mom, and my mother-in-law will be in town staying with us! I really wanted to make something for my mom and mother-in-law this year. I can only make so many random things for myself, so I love getting to make things for my family! Sorry family, expect homemade things for Christmas and birthdays this year... I'm having way too much fun to stop! My Mother-in-law Karen has a Kindle Keyboard and a Kindle Fire. Conveniently, both devices have almost the same dimensions. Sweet! So I made her a soft case for whichever one she chooses. Jason went to the fabric store with me and helped pick out the fabric. He specifically wanted something purple. We picked the outside fabric first, then had a bit of trouble finding a coordinating fabric for the lining. When Jason saw this...
