Yeah, I Know How To Sew! I Think:




This is for my regular readers. From a few posts back I told everyone I don't know how to sew. Well truthfully speaking I kind of don't, but in a better way to say it, I've have realized that yes I can sew. With there being so much leftover from our hemming job, I decided I'd take the leftovers of those cuts and turn them into a denim quilt. I started this project oh, I'd say about a month ago, thanks to mom's encouragement and help along the way this is what I've come up with so far. I don't think I'll be sewing any prom gowns or anything fancy in the near future, but at least I've got the basics down. It has been kind of fun. I'm just worried that when I start sewing and that bobbin comes unthreaded I won't be able to thread it again. ha!ha!ha! Anyways, I just got some more jeans so tonight I'm going to start cutting more squares up so I can start sewing them together again. How fun. It is nice to have a variety of hobbies and things you enjoy doing. Helps pass the time. So here are some pictures of what I've put together so far. Wishing everyone happy days.
