Sewing Lessons

My mom has tried for years to get me into sewing. She is very good and was always working on projects when I was growing up. She would see clothes for us, a prom dress for me, bridal dresses, etc. I never really had an interest in the actual sewing part. I more enjoyed the designing of what she would make. She did get me to make pillows one year for Christmas when I was about 12.

Now that I am older, I love the idea of sewing. I have been wanting to start the last few years. Now that I am closer to her we are finally doing it. For an early Christmas gift she got me a sewing machine. I love it! It is a Brother and pretty fancy compared to what I used to have.

I started with aprons and tote bags. I made 12 aprons and about 10 tote bags. It ended up being a lot to do before Christmas because I was sick for about a week. I did it though! I am having so much fun with it. I am also making an apron for both the kids and matching totes. Meli picked out a Disney Princess fabric and Colin (of course) Superheroes.
