Who knew? I can sew...

So I finally broked down and got the 4 year old brand new sewing machine out of the basement. Blowing off the dust, I realized I might just be able to figure out how to use this thing. Sure enough...it's actually kind of fun :)

Thanks to my new Amy Butler In Stitches pattern book (thanks Mom!), I was able to make my very first bag, in about an hour. Although someone has already claimed it for his basketball and cars (see pics below), now that I know how to make them, it shouldn't be long before I make another.
