Okay I'll start out by saying September 11, 2011, we will never forget. Rest in peace to all those who lost their lives 10 years ago today. With that said, I decided that my new hobby is going to be sewing! My mom has a sewing machine sitting in the garage, unopened. I learned how to sew back in high school and I figured with a crash course I could pick it back up easily. So I busted out the sewing machine, found a pattern online and went to work. I started with just some scraps of a recieving blanket that I had cut up earlier. I practiced lines and circles...which weren't all that bad. My circle was at least in the shape of a circle, even if it was a little wobbly at some points. So after I got the hang of the machine, I went to work on my "practice" block. I decided that I am going to make the baby some plush blocks! I used the rest of the blanket and sewed together a block! It wasn't too bad, although I did accidentally sew the top on upside..only on one seam though. It really isn't bad for a first try, and tomorrow I will use my nice fabric! I am going to make the blocks alittle smaller than this one, and on the inside they will either have a bell or some crackle paper.
