Aprons 101

Our first project in sewing class was a very simple apron. You can find the tutorial here.

My Inspiration

Part of the reason I decided I wanted to start learning to sew was because of this machine. It's a hand-me-down sewing machine and I'm learning to love it. My grandma gave my mom this machine when my mom was pregnant with me... that makes the machine 30+ years old. It works great and I am so thankful to have it.

Sewing 101

Last fall, my girlfriend, Angie and I enrolled in a sewing class through the Capo School District. The class was set to start in January and we went the first night it started. Unfortunately, that was the only night we went. The class was cancelled due to low enrollment. Angie and I were totally bummed as we had now set our minds on learning how to sew. Fortunately, we have a friend who is an AMAZING seamstress and we were able to convince her to teach us how to sew one night a week at her house. So, every Monday night you can find us at Carol's house sewing. Thank you, Carol!! We love it and are learning so much from you!
