{My First Solo Sewing Project}

It's one thing to learn a new skill, like sewing, and make something using that skill with

the help of a pro. It's another thing altogether to do it on your own.

After my sewing lesson with Sara, I knew I better put my new found knowledge to work

before it slipped out of my brain and vaporized entirely. So, I made another pillow a couple

Sundays ago. I was actually nervous as I got started. I wanted to be able to do it so badly

and feared I wouldn't thread the machine right or remember all the steps correctly. I spent

a ridiculous amount of time on it and made a few rookie mistakes. I learned from it though

and gained a lot of confidence. I really think I'm starting to get the hang of this sewing thing

-- on a 101 level, at least.

I present to you my first solo sewing project: a simple envelope throw pillow.
