Okay, I admit it. I'm a closet sewer.
Wait! Not a sewer, a sew-er.
One who sews.
You know what I mean, right?
Last year for Christmas, Nate bought me a sewing machine. I'd wanted one for quite awhile, but could never justify spending all that money on a gadget for myself. (Do sewing machines count as gadgets?) Anyway, I love it. Here's what I've made in the last year (not counting really practical things like hems and scout patches):
pillowcases: 2
nursing covers: 2
stuffed toy owls: 8 (these are my new favorite baby gift)
stuffed toy monsters: 5
skirts: 2
dress: 1 (with my mom's help. It was hard!)
ie faitaga's: 3 (one man size and two toddler size)
printer cover: 1 (I keep the windows open and it gets really dusty)
bag holder: 1 ( to stuff all my grocery sacks in)

| The monsters, mostly for my nephews. |
 |
| A few of the owls, also gifts. |
 |
| I made the ie faitaga Manu's wearing, but not the shirt. |
 |
| And the dress - maybe I should give Mom the credit for this one. |

I have benefited from your sewing skills! Awesome job.
You are a creative girl and sewing lets you express that in such a fun way. The dress, well my dear, you sewed every stitch and it really is darling on you! I think if I knew a little more about tailoring it would not have been such a process to make.
Wow Deb! I had no idea you were so skilled! I took a basic sewing class this last fall and have my dad's old machine. I am getting the hang of it but you inspire me!
