one of my aunts gave me her old sewing machine and I was so excited! when I do crafts with materials I have to hand stitch, which I'm okay with, it's just time consuming.
So when this was offered, I immediately started thinking of all the cute things I could make...clothes for addie, better curtains, cool gifts, felt foods....
So the other morning I decide to attempt something I am making for Christmas. After 6 phone calls and three youtube instructional videos, I finally get the thing threaded correctly. You read that right. And man, isn't YouTube amazing?? I had no idea there were videos like that..
Anyway, I finally got it threaded, and went to town. All was well until I turned the material over...
Yeah, oops.
It's just insane to me. I'm a pretty intelligent person with an IQ well up there. I am also pretty darn crafty. I can make halloween costumes out of old clothes and $1 and you wouldn't even know they began with junk. I've made curtains and shower curtains out of sheets. I can paint and crochet and scrapbook...but sewing? gets the best of me every time. Which is pretty sad since my mom is a master sew-er (?) and made a good deal of my clothes growing up. My aunt, too!
So, did they get all the sewing genes, thereby leaving the pool empty of that talent? LOL
