Sewing

We saw a sewing machine on sale at Costco one day and Kory bought it for me, even though I told him it was too much and I did not know how much I would use it or if I had time for it.  He picked it up and put it in the cart and said, "Let's go."  It took me about a month to get it out and start trying it.  McKay had a great fascination towards it also and wanted to try it out.  We played around and made lots of patterns on scrapes of material I had.  I now love my sewing machine!  A friend in our ward who sews a lot said it was addicting, and I have to agree with her.  Our first project was a simple, small bean bag.  McKay even helped do some hand stitching which he has never done before.  I think he felt really proud of his work.  Our next project is some aprons for the kids that are made out of dishtowels.  After that I am making some of Erica's pants that have holes in them into shorts with a fun trim.  My big project is a skirt for me.  I just have to find the right material.  I have been looking and don't know what to buy.  I think that is the hardest part for me, the pattern of the material and what would look good.
