Sew Awesome!

Last night, Justin and I went to Wal-Mart on a company errand for his dad's business, and we ended up having to stick around quite a while. We decided to make the most of it, stopping for dinner at the Papa Bello's pizza restaurant inside the giant store (not bad, actually. Superb cheese breadsticks!). After that, we did some "fun shopping" - at least for me. My poor hubby was getting shopper's fatigue, as men often do when forced to shop for long periods of time. He was a trooper, though. :)

Anyway, we walked around the arts and crafts area, and I remarked that I had been wanting to get a sewing machine so that I would have something creative to do with my free time. He smiled and said, "Do you want to get one now?" Um... of course I did! About 30 minutes later, we were checking out with this:



as well as two yards of black and white polka dot fabric, various spools of thread, a box of pins, a zipper, and a pattern for a basic, A-line skirt.

Now, I have never used a sewing machine before - ever. So, after over an hour of reading the manual and trying to thread my new machine last night, I finally gave up. This morning, all it took was a couple instructional YouTube videos and a little patience, and SUCCESS! It's all threaded and ready to go! I am so excited to actually make something with it. I will share my progress, for those of you who enjoy this sort of thing. :)

Oh, the possibilities!

Love and Lattés,

Katie
