New hobby/addiction...




So I was home last weekend for Mother's Day and my mom (who can pretty much do anything imaginable when it comes to hobbies/crafts/skills) was reupholstering a bench for the library. She had all this fabric out and her sewing machine was on the table. I told her I wanted to sew something, as I've been tempted to buy many bags on etsy recently (I love all the summer designs!). So the next day we booked it to Joann Fabrics and spent a good hour and a half in there. We each picked out a pattern for a bag and materials. Ok so I LOVE FABRIC. Also very fun picking out the buttons for the bags.
We cut out our material and pinned and marked everything and the next day we sewed the bag in a few hours. It came out better than I even thought it would! (I must say though reading a pattern is like reading Chinese to me, so I never would have figured it out without my interpreter - Mom!)
I can't wait to start another project. Got me thinking...another etsy shop perhaps?
