So about 3? years ago, Santa brought me a beautiful pale blue sewing machine - just what I had asked for!! That Santa, he knows me so well.
3 years later, it was still in the box.

| See? In the box. See? Pretty fabric. |
But after some motivation from a friend a few days ago I (boyfriend) dug around in the closet and pulled it out. I found some pretty fabric at Joann’s and I was going to make a skirt!!
It took some serious concentration to thread the machine (without my mother or middle school Home Ec teacher standing over my shoulder) but I did it! And I used the pattern I had to cut my fabric into my 2 skirt pieces… and sewed up the sides! And voila – halfway done making a skirt that was 3 sizes to small!
Fooey. I wasn’t about to waste my time or money or beautiful fabric on a skirt that’s too small! So I youtube’d some videos on DIY infinity scarf, laid my ‘skirt’ out flat on the ground, and chopped it up to make a scarf.

Voila! Here I am modeling it in boyfriends t-shirt.

And here’s Bozo modeling looking ever so sweet.

And here I am modeling this morning – and I’m impressed with myself!!

Do you sew?? What tips do you have for me?
Very truly yours, A. Bean
