365.18 - Learning to sew
My father's mother taught all of her kids to sew. When it came time for the grandkids to learn, she never really taught us. So, I learned a simple stitch today..... finally... after all these years.
The devastation in Haiti brought out the community spirit in me, and I went to Sue Rock Originals in Brooklyn, to lend a hand with making skirts for the survivors of the earthquake. Well, the place was pretty crowded so my aunt took the fabric back to her house, and instructed me on how to do a single hem. She was so excited that I got it downpact instantly. Whoa... something has awoken this spirit inside of me.
OK, so now I am ready to get my own machine, some pretty fabric, and the Vogue Sewing book, and make something cute. As if knitting isn't enough to keep me busy!
