I Can Sew!

Last Saturday, my friend Kelly co-hosted a Sewing Bee for several girls my age. (We're still "girls" right?! Women just doesn't sound right. Anyway...) The whole afternoon was terrific! Everyone brought delicious appetizers to share and there were cute door prizes for each of us. There were three projects to choose from, complete with illustrated directions and a plethora of materials to chose from. I chose to make the small table runner...the least threatening of the three projects. Mind you, I was banned from my mom's sewing machine as a young girl because I always jammed it up. (At least, that's the way I remember it.) I didn't even know how to "thread a bobbin" until last week. Susie came with me and we had a hilarious time trying to figure things out. I was quite proud of my accomplishment that afternoon and now am excited to try something else!
