Sewing

Much to my mom's delight, I've been sewing. Appropriately, my first project on my "new" machine was, indeed, hemming pants. But, I've since moved on to more fun and exciting things. Like curtains for the nursery. I'm super excited about how they turned out and I smile every time I walk by the nursery and see them.

I learned to do a blind hem. I imagine this will be quite useful in the future, but it's a little tricky and quite nerve-wracking. Fortunately, it turned out okay.


Scout supervised the process, lending her extensive expertise when needed


Sewing on the buttons. This was the last step and I was really excited to get them on, put the curtains up, and be done with it.


The finished product. Really, I think it turned out super cute, if I do say so myself. And look, you can get an idea of the wall color.


And a close-up so you can admire the adorableness.

Super cute curtains. Maddie just asked me if Grandma made them. In her experience, any handmade item is done by Grandma. But in my defense, I did do a zigzag stitch to mend my white snowpants. And I sewed Sam's scout badges on his shirt. Of course I told him he would have to settle for white cuz I don't know how to change the thread. Once the bobbin runs out, my sewing days are over.

Those curtains are so adorable!!! Love the pink & green! Ryan is better with the sewing machine than I am. In fact, I am willing to bet your dog is more likely to complete a sewing project than me.
