Sewing 101

After months of envying my friends who can sew and as an effort to meet my New Years' resolution of being more creative outside of work, I decided to sign up for a Sewing 101 class at this cute place called The Needleshop.


The class is super small—just four people and the instructor. Our instructor, Kaitlyn, was very chill, patient and funny.


Lisa A. and I spent Saturday morning in their basement learning the basics about our machines and then constructing very basic (but very gratifying) pillows. It's just a first step, but putting in the zipper felt good! Next step: Baby blankets.

[don't get any ideas, it's just the next level in the class]





This class would not have been possible without my sewing machine (recently christened, Janice) that mom gave me three years ago. Thanks! I also have to thank Jacque for all the sewing paraphernalia she got me for Christmas. :-)
