adventures in sewing

last night was the beginning of a new adventure. it involved b, a sewing machine and an extremely patient sis-in-law. oh and 2 and a half yards of fabric because i have no concept of how much fabric actually goes into this amazing talent. {fyi, only 1/2 a yard is necessary to construct a purse}. yes you heard me right, i made a purse. it looks like total crap but oh it is glorious crap! i cant believe my first time ever TOUCHING a sewing machine i made something! i seriously thought therena was just going to have me sew a straight line along the edge and call it quits. she came fully prepared to sew a complete item. amazing. there will be no evidence of this purse however, but once something comes out of that machine that does not completely look like a 4 year old did it i will post pics. until then, happy sewing! 
{hats off to you therena, you were marvelous for putting up with me. thanks again!}
