The Sewing Begins...

Because I must have aged 65 years in the last 6 months, I started a sewing class this Winter at Creativities in Cincinnati. I love it, and have learned a lot just in 4 classes. I started with pillows (thanks to my mom for helping) and have moved to clothes (which is probably what I will try to master). I have this idea of eventually making dresses, but I should probably finish my classes before I get too ambitious. Here are the beginnings of my adventures with the sewing machine:


Pillows with matching fabric on canvases.


My first dress. Although it is by no means perfect, the pockets aren't uneven as they appear in this picture. Also, the pattern said "1-hour sewing" and it took me about 4 days. I have a lot to learn.
