I learned to sew!

My mom taught me how to sew on a machine last week. I need a LOT more practice, but I think I did pretty good for my first project! I made covers for the pillows on our sofa. The back has a flap where you put the pillow in. {yeah I'm sure there's an official name for that...} The back is a striped fabric that coordinates with the floral on the front. Wonder what I'll tackle next...

  3. I see you are reading The Host....is it good? I thought about starting it, but was afraid I would get sucked into it like I did the Twilight series. Nothing got done while I was reading those books!

  4. Getting my mom to teach me to sew has been on my to-do list for 3 years, ever since I got her old machine, and I still haven't gotten around to it. Props to you! The pillows look great!

  7. Great pillows! You are becoming quite crafty. Very impressive. We were telling someone about your tiles just the other day; she would like the pillows also, I'm sure.

  8. You go girl! Whatever you tackle next, I am sure you will do well. Unless Stephenie Meyer takes over your mind.
