Sewing 101

(Fabric: Juicy Jungle by Alexander Henry)

I got to do something recently that has been on my "to-do" list for awhile--take a sewing class! My Auntie Joanie was an awesome sewer and I always wanted her to teach me. The Needle Shop in Bucktown offers a 4-hour Sewing 101 class that I highly recommend. They only allow 4 students total in each class, so you really get personal attention from the instructor. I learned the basics of the machine--and then got to make an awesome pillow for Lola. How cute is that fabric?! One of these days when I get some free time (haha), I'm going to break out my Aunt's machine and attempt a solo project. Stay tuned...
