MY FIRST SEWING PROJECT!!!


Today was my first sewing class.  I took the class at a local independent craft store.  I had a great time. It took me forever to make this (4.5hours) but that's because I was one of 3 that was learning the step-by-step process.  We had the teacher running back and forth :)  Poor Judy. 

Anyway, it was fun... so, I am going to go looking for my first sewing machine in the next few days.  My goal is to ONE DAY make my dogs 'form-fitted' Halloween costumes.



 The fabric is soooo cute.  I don't think the photo does the colors justice.

Last night, I also met with some crochet friends so we could make caps for people recovering from chemo/radiation.  www.capcrusaders.com    
I can't get the hang of the counting so I have to go the 'cheater' method which is to use those plastic rings that you can buy at Michaels/Wal-Mart.  I must say though, those rings are awesome. Less stress on your hands/wrists.
