Remember "What About Bob?" and the "I'm Sailing" scene?
In continuing the attempt to find a hobby I love, I borrowed my friends sewing machine.
I wanted to start with something easy, so I made a pillow cover. Actually I made two. One yard of fabric, two pillows.
As I was sewing, I kept repeating in my mind, "I'm sewing. I'm a sewer. I'm sewing".
That, and when I first started using the sewing machine, I stuck out my tongue when I was concentrating.
I don't think sewing is my thing, but it was fun.
I used this tutorial.
I bought the fabric at fabric.com and the pillow forms at Ikea.
Then feeling confident of my skills, I went for something a little more complex (I had to use pins). For this project, I used this tutorial.
I haven't finished all the way, I still have to add a little button/embellishment.
I bought the ties and the cream colored shirt at a local thrift. The second shirt I already owned.
Here are some pictures of me trying to take a picture of the shirt.
So cute.
