Mitten Follow Up

Done.  That was so fast!  If you're looking for the easiest possible sweater project, look no further.  Trace a hand on an old sweater, taking advantage of the hem (remember to trace them on the inside of the sweater!), sew around it (with a little room to grow), and cut it out!  You could even sew it by hand if you don't have a sewing machine.  Just make sure the opening is big enough to put the hand through, that's the only place the baby mittens were a little tight.

I'm definitely hooked on sewing.

  2. One year not too long ago, my parents gave my older brothers all kinds of cool camping gear for Christmas. I was really excited to open my present after seeing all that camping gear popping out... and tried to look excited when mine turned out to be a sewing machine.

    Now I know Mom had mine (and my future family's) best interest in mind, and now I can say I'm glad I own a sewing machine! But I still need to learn how to use it. (It's too fancy.) I can't count the number of sewing lessons/classes I have taken in my life, and for the life of me can never remember how to do it.

    Thanks for giving me a little motivation Ariel! You are a real go-getter.
