My new hobby!

So I have decided that I am going to be a little more domestic and I want to do some more crafty things around my house. So I borrowed my sisters sewing machine and I made drapes for my downstairs. I know it's way easy but that is big for me! Next I decided to be a little more daring and I made a skirt. The fabric for the skirt was just some scrap fabric that I got from my Grandma to practice with but I think I actually like it. We'll see if I really wear it but I sure am proud of myself.


(I promise they're even, they just look crooked in the picture)



(The pattern is floral, you can't really tell from this picture.


My next project is going to be these cute letters that you hang on the wall. I'll probably spell out Kaydences name. My really good friend Jen is going to show me how to make them because she has them for her daughter Taelie. She is so stinkin crafty and we are going to start doing craft nights once a month and I cannot wait!
Sorry if this seems dorky but I am super excited to learn some awesome things. If anyone has any other ideas of cute things that they have in there house that are easy to make, let me know please!

I am very impressed! I think that the curtains are a major accomplishment, I had to get Julie's help to sew the straight lines to finish my pillow from enrichment!

That is awesome! They look great. I've had a sewing machine for a few years now and I can count on one hand how many times I've used it. Now that is pathetic. Keep it up...then you can come over and teach me ;)
