Sewing Lessons Take 2,3 & 4

I really meant to do another post about my sewing lessons but life has just gotten the better of me lately. We have been unbelievably busy and the end is not in sight just yet. We were in Florida for 2 nights this past week at a campmeeting and when we came back home, we attended another campmeeting here in town. I haven't been at home very much lately.

I'm really surprised at how much I've learned just making an apron. The first week we cut out the pattern and the material. This was not my favorite part. The second week we worked on the bottom part of the apron and sewed on the pockets. The third week we gathered the skirt of the apron and sewed on the waist band. And this week we worked on the neck strap and the bodice of the apron. Next week, we should be able to finish up the apron and I will have a picture of the finished product.

I really enjoy sewing. My teacher tells me I'm a natural at sewing. Thank you, Lisa!! We plan to work on a skirt for the month of July. This is going to be great since all I wear is skirts. She's also going to teach me how to hem and take up the waist in pants for my husband.

We've tried to snap a few photos of me in action so you can see the proof that I really am sewing. :)
