Sew What?

Over Labor Day weekend my sister helped me get over my fear of the sewing machine and I went to town making a few appliqué things and a new apron for myself (I love aprons).

Today I finally got out Damon's sewing machine. I was successfully able to load the bobbin, cut out the material, and sew something. But I have reached the point of frustration in the project. One of the steps I have been skipping is the ironing part and it looks like I need to haul out the ironing board and actually press some seams. Otherwise, the material will not fit under the foot.

I won't tell you what I am making, but I think it is pretty neat. A complete picture tour of my project will be available when I am done. And those of you meeting me in Las Vegas will get to see it in person!
