i've been overcome by a new project as of late. learning how to sew. not only because i just want to have that skill, i need to know how to sew for school. kristy let me tag along with her at her sewing lesson a couple weeks ago and ever since, i've been hooked!
so many projects, so little time.
thanks to this book krista got me for christmas (that has been sitting on my bookshelf for six months because i got so frustrated with my sewing machine last fall that it has been sitting dormant ever since) i've been able to practice my skills AND make cute stuff. win, win.so, without further ado...
my first creation...i wanted it to look like a donut, don't worry about it.
this is the project i started today. curtains for my boudior...i'm still in the still in the early stages.
one day, these curtains hope to look like this...
i even dyed the fabric different shades of blue. super fun!

Yay for my seamstress sisters! Hey--if you have time when you've satisfied your foot fetish, would you make me something? Anthropologie doesn't carry my sizes.
you're a wizzo-wizard! i really like the fabrics you picked out.
'know your colahs and know your fabrics; that's what i tell all my little girls.'
sew sew cute are your creations little sewer girl. if i made a pincushion that is how i would make it. you are going to just do great and fabulous things with your machine, I can tell. but it's probably all thanks to krista for getting you that book. KIDDING!!
hey. my first comment wasn't just a compliment. i really want something.
RD:
you betcha! don't get too excited though, so far i've really only been able to master straight lines. maybe i could make you a tie.
You are already a natural. When is sewing club? :)
Whoa, you are seriously craft. And ambitious. Good on ya.
Wow, Lauren. Way to sew! What darling curtains! I'm so impressed with your sewing and dying skills.
Can't wait to see a picture of the finished project.
