Domesticated

Hey Mom; having a laugh yet? Today found me making an apron of all things.  We found a couple of those cut out the pieces, sew, put together and brag pattern/materials.  I, of course, picked the curved pattern one and got to play with snipping little triangles along the curve so the material would lie flat when folded for a hem.  Argh! that was time consuming but interesting.  Even managed to rethread a bobbin with only one glitch that I figured out.

Sewing, cleaning, cooking..... I refuse to wear pearls and call myself June Cleaver! (even if David thinks I should!)

So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
