I have been trying really hard to be more crafty. I've never been in to arts and crafts. I tried to do scrap booking and gave that up and started Shutterflying. . .so much easier (and less work). Well, I was pretty successful on the memory board I made. So now with all my confidence from that I have a far fetched goal. I would like to know how to sew before we have children. I would love to be able to sew them cute outfits, tutus, bows, etc. The problem is, I've never sewed in my life! Well, unless you count the sewing class I took in HS where I was forced to sew for a grade.
Anyways, here is my first attempt at trying to sew. . . a pillow.
First I cut out two 18x18 squares.
Then, I pinned them together on three sides.
You're probably asking, "Why didn't she sew in a zipper on the fourth side?"
Well, because I didn't have one and I had no idea how.
So once I got the three sides sewn together I flipped it right side out, stuffed it, and sewed it shut!
Voila'! A little lumpy, I know.
Moral of the story...I went to WM and bought a zipper!
P.S. The side I sewed shut is on the bottom.
P.P.S I know the color looks orange, but it's actually red.
