Tuesday Craft Night


I grew up watching my mom sew and have always wanted to learn…I’ve just always been intimidated by all those patterns & pins. But about a year ago I pushed those fears aside and bought a sewing machine, confident that I could teach myself how to do it. I also purchased “Sewing for Dummies” and a book of easy sewing projects...because that would motivate me to get busy. What have I made so far??? A change purse. Yep, that’s it.

But now I have Tuesdays. One night of the week to indulge myself in whatever activity/hobby/project I want (J gets Thursday nights to play softball, so I negotiated for Tuesdays to do crafts!). So I cleared the cobwebs off my sewing machine, bought some burlap & fabric from Joann’s (50% off sale right now!) and got busy on table decorations for Easter Sunday brunch at our house. And just as I got all setup to sew, I realized I didn’t have the right color of thread. Just my luck.

I guess there’s always next Tuesday. 

P.S. For you cupcake fans, I will be featuring this week’s edition on Thursday so stay tuned!!

  1. Good luck! Burlap is a messy pain to sew! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
