I'm back! The wedding was fantastic... just beautiful. I am anxiously awaiting the email from the photographers saying they have put up a sneak peek on their blog. It will be a couple weeks before all of the photos are posted. What an amazing day!
Now that the doctoral dissertation has been accepted by the editorial reviewers (Phinally Done) and the wedding is finished, I can craft again!!! I dusted off the Hello Kitty sewing machine the other night and reintroduced myself to the art of sewing. Amazingly, it came back to me pretty quickly. Perhaps this is not surprising considering my initial knowledge level was pretty slim!
I grew weary of sewing small pieces of scrap fabric together and decided to actually make something. I really wanted to make a full-length apron and holiday stockings before 2008 has passed, so I decided to amend my desires a little to fit the time constraints. The stockings are the big project and I will post a separate blurb about that over the weekend. I still have a few skills to pick up before the full-length apron can be accomplished so I decided to make it REALLY easy by sewing together a half apron.
I took a regular size dish towel that was lying around and found enough scrap material to act as the ties. I sewed the fabric ties to the corners of the towel and POOF -- I have an apron. I actually like the towel material because it's easily washable and feels substantial when I am wiping my hands off. Tomorrow I will find the camera so I can take a picture of my first official sewing project.
