I did it!

I sewed something! I finished this little pinafore in part two of my sewing class today! I'm so excited and satisfied with the outcome. Even though it was a really simple, basic project I just feel incredibly empowered -- like I really can learn to make clothes!

In related news, my new sewing machine arrived yesterday! I can't wait to unpack it and make something else...

  15. I had a dream - I think it was a dream, or maybe I was daydreaming - that you were having a girl. I don't know, I am feeling a girl for you. But I've guessed girl incorrectly now three times in a row, so don't bet on my opinion, lol!
