Sewing...

I’ve decided to take up sewing. I’ve sewed before, so I am not a complete beginner, but I will definitely have to give myself a little refresher course. I am not big on patterns, I’m more of a sew and figure it out as you go kind of girl. So I’m sitting here trying to figure out what in the world I should sew. I thought about maybe a nice simple blanket or a new beach bag type thing…but no I chose to make my little boy a cloth book! I am so excited! I went to the fabric store, bought lots of fabric and other things called my hubby (who is at work) and told him about my wonderful idea! His response? “You spent 50 dollars to make a book that you could just go out and buy?” Yes. Yes, I did. I spent 50 dollars on fabric and accessories. Now keep in mind, my sewing machine is still in its box from more than a year ago, so obviously I don’t have everything I need. But oh well…I’m still super excited and if it turns out alright and hopefully cute, then I’m sure the hubby will be too…
