It's Saturday

Lately I have been coveting other people's sewing skills.

I think it's that.

Really I want to be able to make beautiful cute little spring dresses I've been seeing spring up everywhere!

I have a sewing machine. I have a nice one. It's older, but practically brand new, and was recently serviced and admired by said servicer.

What I'm lacking is the confidence in my ability to operate this machine.

I need my projects to flow smoothly, over a not so long period of time, with minimal technical difficulty. Having to stop and read manuals isn't my idea of a fun project.

I think that's why I love bows so much ;)

However.... this great sewing machine is doing me no good unless I bust it out and get to work.

Practice Makes Perfect.... or at least decent enough for my own child to wear... right?

And if I'm lucky I can talk one of my craftier sewing friends into coming over to help me..... just maybe.

So, since it's Saturday and I'm up at the crack of dawn sporting my cute new hair cut- I'm heading to a new fabric store, to buy fabric I will fall in love with. I will fall so in love with the fabric I will then be afraid to cut into it and it will be added to my pile. Let's hope the later doesn't happen....
