I’m sew cool!
maxine August 6th, 2008
Believe me when I say that I’m not particularly artsy nor crafty. I draw like a five-year old. I hate scrapbooking with a fiery passion (it’s to do with staying up till all hours of the night to make them for the “graduating” kids at work). I tried quilting once, but stopped about 3/4 of the way in when I realized I hated it. I can knit and enjoy doing so, but I’m painfully slow at it - it takes me nearly a year to make one baby blanket (and that’s if I work on it a lot). My mom tried teaching me to sew when I was a kid, but we both soon discovered that I was fairly inept at it. With this pathetic history in mind, I unveil my latest accomplishment: Lined blackout curtains for Isaac’s room!
I’m kind of really proud of myself for making these. So what if they’re about as easy as sewing projects get? I think I did a mighty fine job, thank you very much! I even channeled my inner frugal saver and managed to get a bunch of normally very expensive fabric on a lovely clearance. Next up will be curtains for our own bedroom (the fabric will be the inverse of Isaac’s pattern, minus the bears).
