Sewing 101...

Well, I did it! I finished my first sewing project. A mighty ambitious one at that! No patterns, no previous sewing experience besides some pillows & no mom, who is a wonderful sewer! I grew up with one of the very few if not the only mom in my circle of friends who could sew! What a blessing! Although she will tell you differently she can sew pretty much everything (I am blessed with a mother-in-law who can do the same!). My mom made Abbie's beautiful cradle bedding! So, I have this desire to sew inside of me...to make dresses for my daughter & for me...curtains...pillows...crib bedding...etc. So this past summer when my grandmother passed away I inherited her sewing machine. And I have a huge list of projects I want to accomplish! So, I started with my greatest need. Something to throw a few diapers & wipes in and put it in my purse so I don't have to take the whole huge diaper bag...so I basically winged all the measurements & came up with something not too bad!

It is just one of many projects I hope to share with you! Hopefully the next ones better then this one!
