fleece pants

i sewed my very first pair of....well.. anything this week!
i kept my expectations low and went at it... we came away with some not too terrible fleece monkey pajama pants for levi. thankfully he is forgiving about my not so straight lines.. :) and is the easiest to fit. :)

i'd post a pic but my camera sd card is on the fritz, and now i have to go see if they can help me retrive my pictures off of it...

but.. i did it!! and i'm quite proud of myself!

sewing projects

Back in the fall someone gave me a sewing machine. We were so busy during the school year that I never got a chance to learn how to use it.
So, my project for the summer? Learning to sew.



This morning I went to Joann Fabrics and searched and scoured their stuff for something I thought was reasonable for someone with ZERO experience to do. I finally decided on a purse. I picked out the materials and brought everything home.



I'm hopeful that this will work out, and will be a fun, not stressful, project.

I took a picture of the fabric.


The first two pictures our crazy cat was checking it out.

"Mama, what's this, is it new? Can I eat it?"

For the record, he did try to munch on the handles... crazy kitty!!!

Finally, a good picture!!!!

Let's hope it turns out like the blue bag on the pattern.. :)
