she's alive

and she sews!

so, folks,

guess what i did tonight?

that's right,

i dusted off the old machine

and gave it a go...

i mended two pairs of underwear

 and a t-shirt hem,

took in a pair of shorts,

converted a pair of tights 

into hemmed footless tights

and...

< wait for it >

i finally made myself a clothespin bag!!!!

i more or less used this tutorial.

and i am SO pleased with how it turned out.

take a gander..

before 

(a pillowcase i found a while back at value village for $.99)

after

(happy dance, happy dance)

when it was all said and done it only took me an hour!

(okay, like three months and an hour...go procrastination)

note to self:

i love sewing and must do it more often.

that is all.
