I have done it! Ok, well sort of.... I officially finished my first pair of shorts for Rye (with a TON of help from my mom) and now I am almost done with a second pair that I have done ALL by myself!!! My mom brought me over an ironing board for the table because I have never had one. I haven't even used the iron much before except to melt crayons between wax paper and such. So now I know sorta how to use it, and I am getting better at running the sewing machine too!
I am really glad I decided to take this up. For one thing it keeps me busy, and eases the depression. For another, I am going to be able to make school clothes for the kids for about $1 per piece. (Fabric on clearance YAY!) And another plus is that all those clothes that couldn't be sold at the garage sale are going to be recycled into either new clothes, or a quilt. Last but not least, mom and I are spending time together, laughing and talking about life, without all the drama. I like that.
