Unfortunately I forgot I set up a blog for sewing! I've made several things, most I forgot to take any pictures of.
The very first thing I sewed was in a sewing class at our local sewing shop. They taught you how to make this patchwork quilt. Considering I had never used a machine before, I was very happy with how it turned out:
My first days of sewing after that looked like this:
The elephant was made from a taggie animal template I found on one of my favorite sewing blogs - Homemade by Jill. The elephant and unfinished bib were from my first few days sewing. There was still an unopened pack of receiving blankets in G's closet - so I made sure those didn't go to waste (obviously!) I also made a burp cloth or seven. She probably got 400 blog hits from me that week, I made a bunch of her projects! :) And wow, look at my sweet baby! That was about 4-5 months ago. He's so much bigger now!
That's all for now. I'll finish updating with pictures I do have later - then hopefully I can start adding some current projects. We've recently moved into our new house and I have a 1st birthday celebration coming up for one special little boy - there should be lots of sewing in my future!
Ripped Seams
My journey into learning how to sew! And all the fun that comes with it.

Christmas gift
My husband decided that he would buy me a sewing machine for Christmas. I'd wanted one for a few years, but never used one before. He did a little more research than I expected him to and spent a little more than anticipated. Now I feel all this pressure to be great. I've got a bunch of ideas of stuff I'd like to make -here's hoping I'll find the time with a new baby in our lives, too!
