As the end of summer draws near and I await planting my winter crops I have decided to focus my attention on learning to sew. It has been something I have always wanted to learn. The independence of being able to sew your own things has always seemed so freeing to me. My Mom bought me Heather Ross's "Weekend Sewing" for my birthday, which can be bought from http://www.purlsoho.com/purl. The book is full of amazing pictures and ideas. I also totally recommend going to their blog http://www.purlbee.com/ for all the wonderful and inspirational images. For my first attempt I am going to sew cloth napkins, don't all girls need cute cloth napkins! My Mom also bought me the fabric for the napkins which is in the picture below. I am armed and ready with one of my Granny's many sewing kits. Wish me luck!
P.S. I promise to attempt to make my images better by using an actual camera...my I-Phone just always seems to be so much easier!
Love that you are blogging now!!! Ill be anxious to see all of your projects. Then you can come up and decorate my house!- Aud
