Adventures in Sewing

Since I had the day off today, I decided to set up my sewing machine and try my hand at a little sewing.  First, I had to figure out how to thread the dang thing.  Only 32 steps later and I was ready to go.  After playing around with the different stitches a bit, I decided to try to hem a pair of pajama pants I got for Christmas.

I must have remembered some of the stuff my mom had taught me about sewing when I was younger, because it came pretty naturally.  I measured, cut, rolled a new hem, pinned in place, ironed, and started to sew.

 

 




















For my first sewing project, I thought I did pretty well.  So, of course, I texted my mom to brag. 

 

And being the good mother that she is, she complimented my straight lines.  I'm excited to tackle my next project... whatever that may be!
