Stitchy Stitchy Yay!

I've been away from the blog today, as my creative impulses were directed elsewhere -- namely towards the continued pursuit of learning how to sew!  I took another class at Make this afternoon, the first in a two-part workshop that will result in the creation of a little garment that looks something like this
I had oodles of fun!  So much fun, in fact, that I ran home and ordered this
There's no turning back or chickening out or procrastinating now!  I'm on my way to setting up a home sewing nook...

  7. I haven't used a sewing machine since high school but would love to get back into it. However, I've promised myself I'm going to learn how to crochet a blanket for the baby, so that's first on the list! I can't wait to see what you make.

    PS Thank you for the carrier advice. Somehow I knew you'd have the inside scoop!
