Sew Much Fun!

It felt like eternity waiting to get a sewing machine for my birthday. And would you believe I didn't use it until a few days ago?!! Let's just say I was intimidated. I knew opening it and learning how to use it on my own was going to take some time and time isn't something I have much of. Finally, the other day I decided to skip the dishes, skip laundry and just tackle it. Because let's face it, there's cleaning to do EVERYDAY and if I keep making those excuses I'll never get anything else done.

So I did it! I was really nervous so I said a little prayer first haha. Then I taught myself how to sew. WOW!!

 It was a success. I made 10 burp cloths that day. AND over the next 2 days in my spare time I completed the project I've really been wanting to do...car seat canopies. The girls needed them bad. Looking back I wish I would've taken the time and money to buy better fabric at a high end store, but they still turned out cute. I found some cute coordinating fabrics on sale at JoAnn's and went with it. I definitely need to spring for cuter fabrics from now on though. Still turned out impressed with myself!
