I will admit I hated my sewing class in Home Ec in high school; we made a pillow which I still have.
Then this past Christmas we were getting our daughter a doll. I wanted to repaint the cradle my dad made me when I was little so she could have it. I decided it needed bedding so I borrowed a Singer 347 sewing machine from a family friend. I made a very simple blanket. I then decided she needed Christmas PJs as we always get new ones each year and I wanted to make hers. Then she needed a Christmas outfit. lol And it just grew from there. I have now made a Queen size quilt, a twin size for my mom and some smaller quilts. I love creating stuff. I love making things from quilts to totes to outfits.
