Anyhoo while Moms was in town visiting this weekend we made a few throw pillows...they go so well with my mantle.
After realizing that I can actually do this I dusted off my copy of Simple Sewing in hopes to tackle some of the great projects inside. This clever book from Lotta Jansdotter is so perfect for the beginner sewer {seamstress? - ha "seam" "stress" very funny} as it has projects from 4 levels of difficulty from sewing basic square napkins to detailed aprons and even duvet covers. Check it out.
Hmmm what to make next?{All photos by me}

These are adorable. I will never buy another throw pillow now. I'll just have to find a fabric store and pull off something funky like this.
I so need to make some throw pillows too. Can your mom come help me please? :)

Jamie! I would think this was something you could easily do. But of course - I'll rent her out to you for a weekend :)
Thanks T! Etsy is a great idea...hmm...and taking a class would be really helpful. and fun!

I keep thinking I need a sewing machine! I'm obsessed with always finding a new craft....and sewing just might be my next stop!
If you ever have a little girl...there are some GREAT tutorials for bubble/twirly skirts on etsy! THAT is actually why i want to start sewing...for the skirts!! :)
