My mom and dad bought me a sewing machine for Christmas. I hadn't sewed anything really since I made a small quilt in about 5th grade, but I really wanted a sewing machine. I'm not sure exactly what sparked it, possibly seeing some Marimekko fabric and desperately wanting to make a skirt out of it.Sew.... I made myself an apron for my very first project. It didn't turn out perfectly and I had to call my mom about 7 times for help deciphering the directions. It's finished though and as you can see, functioning quite nicely. I used it to make some muffins this morning.
I think maybe next I'll make some killer grocery bags so I can pretend to be all "green" here in Seattle and not use plastic bags. Unfortunately, I know enough to start wondering exactly how many plastic bags I have to save before the embodied energy of a canvas bag is worth it. I feel like it must be years and years worth.Today I'm headed to church and then Adrian and I are going on our first hike of the year. Hopefully we'll get some good pictures that I can post.
