Sewing success

So, it's been awhile since I have blogged about my sewing class.  After the success of my pillow case (which I can't find to finally take a picture of and share) we started working on scripture bags.  Ann V. our awesome teacher had a bag that was cute and she just figured out how they were made and made a pattern and directions for us to follow.  It took us a couple months and we missed a month because of schedules, but I finished mine up tonight and I think it turned out pretty good.  I don't know if I could do it again without her help, but I could make a try at least... IMG_3353 Emily immediately asked what I was going to do with it so I told her she could have it and she was thrilled.  She put her scriptures in it already and took this pictureIMG_3350 I'm glad she likes it.  Honestly it turned out much better than I thought it would.  Our next project is an apron.  Everyone else is making a plain jane one and I'm the only one that wants a cute frilly one so we'll see how that goes.  Someday maybe I'll stop feeling so stressed about this whole sewing thing.  I just worry too much about making a mistake.

Good job on the sewing - sorry you're so stressed about it - just choose easy projects until you get more confident with it. I'm trying to remember what we made in 4-H a long time ago. Things like bags, pillowcases, etc. I'll see if I have an easy apron pattern that's not too plain Jane.
