It's SEW easy!!!

Okay...more than 5 years ago, my parents bought me a sewing machine for Christmas b/c I begged and begged for one.  I spent a few days with my mom sewing random things like fabric bags that I never carried and then the sewing machine sat on my bookshelf as decoration b/c it is an oh, sew cute Carolina blue color.

Fast forward to 2 months ago when I decided I wanted to sew again b/c making cute blankets and such for Sam would be fun, right?  Only we had the sewing machine but no pedal or power cord.  I've been looking online at new sewing machines but when J and I cleaned out our storage room, we found the missing cord.

This weekend in Baltimore, my mom gave another sewing tutorial.  My first project?  You guessed it!  Stitching the appliques on the onesies I made last week so that they're nice and secure.  Wow, there is so much to remember when sewing.  The speed of the pedal, pulling from one side, using the other hand to ensure the fabric stays straight.  Gah!

The final result?  Well, you'll definitely be able to tell that it's my first project.  I think the random uneven stitches add character, don't you?
