I got my first project done today! It's not even close to professionally made and I made some errors, but it's mine! Such a wonderful feeling. I made a snuggie (yes, that kind of snuggie!) It would have been much easier to just purchase one, but this one is tailored to my preferences so I'm already head over heels in love with it :-) I finished at school before our basketball game tonight and all of my students were quite jealous of the adorable fabric. I know it's not a huge accomplishment in the grand scheme of things, but I'm hoping that it's the beginning of a long and enjoyable relationship with sewing. I've already got 6 or 7 patterns in my stash that I intend to start working on and this seemed like the easiest one to start. Plus, with sub-zero wind chill for the next few days it will come in handy!
I think the next adventure for me is either a scrub top for my brother's fiance' or a purse for me. I'm very seriously tempted to tackle the purse first. My seams need a lot of work and I think a purse is a much better way to work on it than a top for my future sister-in-law. I'm hoping to cut the pattern tomorrow and finish it by this weekend. It will definitely come in handy for state band auditions this weekend. And if it's a success, that will be a good reason to stop by the fabric store in Salina!
